Parallels Tools at headless Debian 6

I have a virtual Debian 6 minimal (headless/text only) installation. I've tried to install the Tools, but had no luck so far. The screenshot shows all important information. I've tried several ways. but this is a short summary.

I just need the prl_fs to mount a shared folder. Is there a simple way to patch the kernel or do something about this?

Best,
restore

 

Am I the only one trying to install the tools on a text only system? No ideas?

 

Nope.

Please have a look at the output of "mount".

It will tell you the CD-ROM is mounted with the option "noexec", which doesn't allow execution of files.

Please remount with "mount -o remount,ro,exec /media/cdrom0".

You should then be able to execute the "install" file.

Best regards,

OMG, thank you Mihai! I really haven't had a look at the exec flag. Now it worked like a charm!

Best,
restore

 

You're welcome.

 

Hi,

I have a problem with the debian testing (wheezy) on parallels desktop 7. I got the installer work (mount -o exec, ./install) but it can't find the right xorg modules when compiling and finally crashes at startup.

Does anyone tried to get debian testing work ?

Thanks for helping.
