[Ubuntu 10.10] Parallels Tools installation error

[David Cavalcante]

This didnt't happen in Ubuntu 10.04.
Any ETA for Parallels Tools update (I suppose that error happens because of incompatibility between current Parallels Tools and the new release of Ubuntu 10.10)?

You might not have the prerequisite packages installed. There is a knowledge base article on it. Just had the issue. Now if coherence would work....

iso extraction

* Download trial version of Parallels 6 and mount DMG. Go to terminal...

Dear Josephn, Thank you for the solution. I have been struggling with this from a very long time.

To extract the iso right after mounting the DMG, run:

cat "/Volumes/Parallels Desktop 6/Install.mpkg/Contents/Packages/Parallels Tools for Linux.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz" | gunzip | pax -r

The iso will be in ./Library/Parallels/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso under your current folder.

Same problem here ... Ubuntu of 10.10 has been out a few days, I really want to update Parallels Tools couple faster!
