Hi All,
I just upgraded to Parallels 5.0 and am having great sadness with Ubuntu Studio 9.10. I had a lovely VM running under version 4.0 but I really wanted to be able to use Parallels Tools so I popped for the upgrade. When I installed Tools and rebooted the VM, it started giving me the error "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed" no matter what I did. Kinda bummed because I'd put a lot of work into that installation but had not taken the trouble to back it up :-(
Today, I decided to give a try with a fresh installation from the same image (ubuntustudio-9.10-alternate-i386.iso). It wouldn't do an automatic install so I had to do a 'custom' instead. I kept all of the defaults for "Ubuntu Linux", and ran the installation through to the end. When it rebooted, I found to my great dismay that it does the same thing: "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed". Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
*** Update ***
I was able to get standard Ubuntu 9.10 to install with no problem under Parallels 5.0 this morning. It'll do for now. When I have time, I'll try updating it to Studio from within the VM. I've done this before and, while it's time consuming (with my abysmally slow connection), it's doable. I'll make a backup before I start this time!
