The commands I used in terminal 1. We need to mount the pro-tools-lin.iso $ cd media # get to the media directory $ sudo mkdir cdrom # need a mount point $ sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom #barks about write protected and mounts as read-only $ cd cdrom # go to the mount point $ ls # see what we can see oh boy! An install file $ sudo ./install 2. follow the instructions 3. reboot - I shutdown the machine, closed parallels, started parallels, started the vm (I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 LTS) And no mouse pointer ... I'm running Parallels Build 7.0.15055 (Revision 740667; March 5, 2012) Let me try the ISO download link.
and I was WAY behind in updates. Currently downloading .15094 and will update when I finish upgrading.
