I just updated a Debian guest with Linux Kernel 3.12 and am unable to install Parallels tools under Build 8.0.18615. Has anyone had success with this? If not, is there any plan to support this latest kernel? My error messages from parallels-tools-install.log: make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.12-kali1-686-pae' CC [M] /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.o /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c: In function ‘prl_tg_write’: /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c:796:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘PDE’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c:796:31: error: invalid type argument of ‘->’ (have ‘int’) /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c: In function ‘prl_tg_init_one’: /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c:1303:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘create_proc_entry’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c:1303:4: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast [enabled by default] /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c:1305:4: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type /usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c:1306:4: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type cc1: some warnings being treated as errors make[5]: *** [/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [_module_/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg] Error 2 make[3]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.12-kali1-686-pae' make[1]: *** [prl_tg] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods/prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg' make: *** [installme] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/parallels-tools/kmods' Error: could not build kernel modules Error: failed to install kernel modules 2014-01-11T14:42:25-0800: execCmd: ./install --install [143] 2014-01-11T14:42:25-0800: Error: An error occurred when installing Parallels Tools.

Hello This Thread explain all. I have to download last version (9.0.24172) of the linux tool and apply the patch. Bye
jeanjd63 reply did not solve the problem. You implicitly suggest to buy parallels 9 to prevent fixing the bug in parallels8 tools. This thread has proven that Ubuntu 13.10 works with parallels 8: http://forum.parallels.com/showthre...ot-working-launcher-amp-toolbar-missing/page2 @ Parallels: Stop advertising that Version 9 and fix the bug in 8.
