Parallel Tools is installed and running. I am able to change my resolution correctly and so on. But, I cannot see my mouse cursor. As I move the mouse around the screen I can tell it is moving because my active windows highlight, but i can't see where it is exactly. Xorg displays the following messages over and over: PRLVIDEO: Could not set Hardware cursor: result - 0x00000000, status - 0xF0000002 PRLVIDEO: Could not hide Hardware cursor: result - 0x00000000, status - 0xF0000002 Is this just a bug that I have to wait to get worked out, or is there a nice easy fix. Thanks!
Me too - different scenario I am now receiving the same error message, but this occurs during startup of Linux Ubuntu v9.10. However, this instance of the virtual machine was working. I had started it several times and had worked in the virtual machine with no problems (other than learning how to use Linux Ubuntu.) OK, so what happened? Well in this case, I had kept the session "minimized" in the Dock for a day or 3. More than a day, but no longer than 3 days. When I once again "opened" the window (now blacked out), this error popped up! Hmm, OK, so this session somehow got corrupted. Now, whenever I "start" the machine, the Ubuntu logo screen flashes like 5 times or so and then the error box. OK, so now I figure that somehow a (the) configuration file must be corrupted. So I changed various settings, especially the video setting to maybe recreate the configuration i.e. overwrite current config file. No luck 8-( The logs (XServer & Startup Errors) don't seem to show anything else but the same message, except in the Startup Errors log there is also an "error setting MTRR..." very close to the end of the log. So now I think I am like ... Usually I "shutdown" my machines just to avoid this kind of situation. But the really nice thing about virtual machines when strange things happen, just "trash" the machine and start over. I NEVER keep anything I want in a virtual machine. Always a current backup of my data outside the vm, because these strange things do happen. There are ghosts in machines --OC_Don
