    Unable to install parallels tools in Kali Linux 2021.1 on M1 Parallels Desktop.

    OK, so the freeze error in Kali has nothing to do with UTM. It just happens regardless. I can still hit soft restart so it seems to be an input device problem. I just have to reboot again and again until I can login. After I login I have to replug the USB device.

    Unable to install parallels tools in Kali Linux 2021.1 on M1 Parallels Desktop.

    After a reboot, I managed to get further with kali (although I think parrotos is still fubar). It hasn't frozen yet but we'll see. The USB errors may have been due to running UTM.

    Unable to install parallels tools in Kali Linux 2021.1 on M1 Parallels Desktop.

    I just tried Kali and it installed but once I installed the tools it took a long time to boot (USB error showed on the console briefly) then I couldn't login (can't type or use the mouse). I tried ParrotOS and got further, but the screen will freeze up with the CPU pinned to 100%. Before the...

    Parallels (linux guest) will freeze with CPU pinned to 100%

    I installed Kali and after the tools install I get a USB error on boot and I can't even login (screen frozen). Does linux work for ANYONE?

    Parallels (linux guest) will freeze with CPU pinned to 100%

    I installed ParrotOS 5.1 and the VM will freeze if I install the tools. Indeed I cannot even finish installing the tools unless I quit the display server and install it with the terminal only.

    "There is no operating system installed in this virtual machine." using "img" file

    Hello. I'm trying to get ParrotOS to work. For some reason the arm64 distribution uses the "img" format, which may or may not be why I get the error. I attempted to convert to iso using hdiutil but I get the same error. For what it's worth, both image formats mount in OS X just fine. The image...

    Need help installing Parallels Tool on Kali

    I don't know what you mean by "cross check", but Parrot OS is based on Debian 5.10 and I can't install Parallels Tools.

    Parallel Tools failure Debian 5.10.28 (Parrot)

    I'll try to upload a screen shot of the error. I have installed the package manually, but the installer doesn't recognize it. It attempts to install something and fails. Not sure how it's even trying to check the dependency. The module won't compile, either, or something. Is the source to the...

    If anyone has gotten Parallels Tools to work with Parrot OS that'll be news to me.

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    After a second try it did mount like in rc1 and I was able to get rc2 working. Not sure what happened the first time.

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    4. Mount the grub partition to /mnt/USB: # mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/USB This doesn't work in RC2. First it complains it doesn't know the type (needs -t), then if I supply ext2 it complains the filesystem is busy. I don't know of a work-around.

    Try as I might, I cannot get bluetooth to work

    What on earth do you mean "after the issue occurs"? Do you mean whey the sky is blue?

    No, it's just the missing BT driver

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    Oh, just the Anker Soundcore app (and some other things). I confirmed that the driver for the bluetooth device (wlcon) is missing in 9.0 and filed a bug report. We'll see what happens. Ultimately I had to borrow a friend's iPhone to update the firmware.

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    So the app kinda, maybe, works after you relaunch it a bunch of times. It fails to do the firmware update but kinda works otherwise.....kinda. Unfortunately there is no bug report form or github for Android to report the driver problems.

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    Holy moley what a frustrating process. I switched to VirtualBox and tired to install Android 4.4 several times. It failed for various reasons so I tried a VMDK pre-install who was a different kind of nightmare (File Manager doesn't have root permissions? wtf?) It also liked to rotate the screen...

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    OK, I figured out one piece of the puzzle: Catalina automatically switches bluetooth devices when you plug one in. To turn this on/off you use: sudo nvram bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior=always sudo nvram bluetoothHostControllerSwitchBehavior=never Turning this off I can attach the dongle...

    Android 9 (and above?) on Parallels 15

    Welp, that didn't last long. Now I can't attach the device anymore. Tried rebooting. Tried reattaching like 20 times. I have no idea how it attached the one time. There doesn't appear to be any pattern >:(
