linux as guest

I tried with Rhino Linux - as it's Ubuntu based, I selected Ubuntu Linux as the OS type. After spending 2 days trying to get Parallels Tools to install I think I'm just going to have to wait for an update and hope. Just wondering if anyone at Parallels or with trial-and-error experience, has...

Right now on my mac if my focus is on, say, Pages and I mouse over Safari and scroll, the Safari window will scroll, even though I haven't clicked on it. On my previous mac, where I used Virtualbox, the same would happen if I moused over the Virtualbox VM - the active application in the VM...

Hi, For a special boot disk (SUSE OS), I do need to create a Linux VM with a UEFI bios. I have tried it with prlctl, it boots, but into default BIOS, not UEFI mode. What I have tried - prlctl create test-1 -o linux -d suse - prlctl set test-1 --cpus 1 --memsize 2048 --efi-boot on - prlctl set...

When doing resource intensive sharing for development scenarios with many files that need to be accessed (such as high/many files needed for Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, large C++ projects, Rust compilation, etc.), but editing (editors, IDEs, etc.) and similar access will be done with programs on...

The issue is when we set the OS display scale at 200% on UHD displays, as the 3840x2160 resolution is not detected. The list goes from 2560x1600 and steps to 4096x2160, missing 3840x2160, so it resets to a lower one. If go to VM config, set to Scaled, then again to Full, then the 3840x2160 is...

Looks like an issue with 6.8. Previous versions seem to work. Running Debian ARM unstable.

Mouse pointer is missing while switching UI from KDE X11 to Wayland in OpenSUSE. It is working fine with KDE X11.

I know that Parallels (for macOS) is popular for running Windows guest operating systems but does it also support Linux guests? If so, does it also support 3D acceleration? Does it support 120 Hz ("ProMotion") ?

I just installed Fedora as a guest OS from directly within Parallels. Immediately Fedora is nagging me to upgrade, saying that version 36 is no longer supported and I should upgrade bo 38. Can I click "yes" and do the upgrade from within Fedora as a guest OS? Or will that create problems?

Hi, I just installed Parallels for Mac and I am using it to run Linux Mint 20.3. I plan to load my music directory onto the Mac and share it with Linux Mint. The Parallels docs say that the shared directory will mount under /media/pfs in linux. Can I change that? Reason being, I have a music...

hi, I am running Parallels on Mac and I am running Linux Mint 20.3 under it. From the documentation, I see that a shared drive from the Mac will automatically mount as /media/pfs under Linux. Is there any way I can change that? The reason I ask is that I have a music database -- Clementine is...

Hello, I am new to Parallels so please excuse any wrong terminology. I have an old (2015) MacBook Pro that still has MacOS but I just started running Mint Linux within Parallels on it. My music collection is stored on a 1TB external drive on XFAT format (because I read that that is...

My Max Studio with M1 Max running MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 and Parallels 18.2.0 has a 10 gig ethernet connection that is an 802.1q VLAN trunk. There are only a few vlans, home (vlan 10), iot (20), and lab (40) configured. MacOS has built-in vlan support, so the host has no issues connecting to any...

Good afternoon, I doing some linux practice here and I installed Fedora ARM64 on my m1 Mac and I am trying to become the root user using "su -" I do not know what that password is and I do not remember seeing it in set up. I tried on another vm and got the same issue. Is there a default passwd...

Apple has documented this feature on Ventura: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/running_intel_binaries_in_linux_vms_with_rosetta. AFAIK, UTM has supported this feature. It would be ideal for Parallels to add this function as cross-architecture-compile is much needed on...

I tried installing Open SUSE tumbleweed from the arm64 ISO on their website but the mouse and keyboard weren't getting detected by the installer ie I wasn't able to click or type anything on the installer. Are there any workarounds? Has anyone installed Open SUSE successfully on M1?

So The clipboard stopped working Suddenly yesterday, so I decided to reinstall the Toolkit works fine. Today it used to work but then switching quickly to copy something from the Host (MacOS) to the VM (Kali latest update) and it didn't work. I tried to: Reboot system couple times...

Hello, I am using Parallels 17 and my screen resolution is set to "more spaced" - using retina screen resolution. However in the guest OS things are a little bit hard to read, so I am manually changing the screen res to 2560x1600. All is well, but whenever I reboot / restart the VM the screen...
