Hello folks, I am having issues upgrading my Ubuntu os, and my hunch is that it may have something to do with Parallels. Attached is a screenshot of the terminal output where the upgrade keeps freezing at (same place each time, and sorry this is a photo, I am unable to select any text when it does freeze). I am operating with a mac, el capitan, uptodate. Does anyone know what is up, or have a suggestion for where I should go to effectively answer this question for myself? Thanks! Blair
I don't have an answer yet but I'm having what appears to be an identical problem. I can reproduce this in Parallels Desktop 11.2.1 for Mac with a host OS of OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. When I create a new Ubuntu 14.04 VM using the Parallels-provided option, that works fine. When Ubuntu offers to upgrade to 16.02, I accept and go through the upgrade process. On reboot and all subsequent boots, it tries and fails to start X, and this startup text is all I see. I can switch to a text terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1 (holding Fn also if on a MacBook) and sign in. /var/log/syslog shows that zenity was trying to show me a message about the video driver not working: "The system is running in low-graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself." Also: "Job for graphical.target failed. See "systemctl status graphical.target" and "journalctl -xe" for details." I don't recognize anything video-related in the more detailed messages printed by those commands. I have not yet tried upgrading to Parallels Desktop 12, and I may do that prior to upgrading macOS.
