Hello, i know Gentoo Linux not directly supported, but hopefully my problem is more general to linux, than related to gentoo. I am running Gentoo Linux in Parallels Desktop on a Mac Studio with Apple Silicon. Parallels Desktop and Parallels Tools are both up to date. Parallels Tools are...

I deployed a Fedora VM using the built in download and install functionality, It works great, but I am not very comfortable using it because its been customized by Parallels and I don't know how. What's different from what I would have deployed using a Fedora provided .iso? This could be...

iMac M4, macOS 26.3.1, Parallels 26 Pro, Debian 13.3. I changed resolution to full resolution in vm settings. From time to time resolution in Debian changes to 1024 x 768. I can change it to higher resolutions then. But iMac native resolution is missing from the list of choices. After some time...

Hello everyone. I installed a VM with Lubuntu in it, hoping to share Linux Apps like I would do with Windows, but sadly I didn't find any dedicated option in the VM settings. Why? I guess I have to use a specific distro, but I'm not 101% sure about this. Thanks in advance for any kind of...

What's the situation currently with Wayland support for Parallels Tools? I'm running Parallels Desktop 20.4 on macOS 15.5 with several Linux guests, but when those VMs log into the default Wayland session, all Parallels-specific integrations disappear. The most troubling is that there's no...

Hello everyone! I need help with a KVM virtual machine on Linux Debian 12. I was working inside a Windows 10 VM when the power suddenly went out and my computer shut down. Since then, I haven't been able to start the VM, even though it contains important files I need. I didn't have time to make...

I noticed at least 3 virtio drivers loaded in my Debian system under Parallels 20 .. is that a new thing?

1. Do I need to uninstall open-vm-tools from my Linux systems that include it automatically (OpenSuSE and Debian)? 2. So far I just have left well enough alone - do Parallels Tools coexist with the open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop?

I don't know why, but hashcat benchmark is >60% faster native using OpenCL than in the Linux VM using OpenCL. Does anyone know why or can offer suggestions on how to close this gap?

I've posted the bug here: https://forum.parallels.com/threads/dsan-warnings-suggest-invalid-page-accesses-in-prl_tg-toolgate-guest-linux-prl_tg-prltg_call-c.364524/#post-939436. It happened after upgrading my Ubuntu from 24.04 to 25.04. Ubuntu kernel version is `6.14.0-16-generic`.

I have parallels 20.2.2 running on MacOS 15.4 and I am not seeing options for installing Linux VMs with Rosetta. I don't see Ubuntu Linux with Rosetta in the Create New page and I don't see Rosetta as an option on the CPU & Memory configuration page for the Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 VM I installed. I...

Following a recent Debian 12 (ARM64) upgrade, I have lost internet connectivity within the VM on my M3 macbook air. Previously selecting WIFI or Shared Connection in the VM's settings would allow it to communicate without having to much with finding WIFI drivers, etc. This is no longer the case...

On various Linux distributions (Debian 12.6, Ubuntu 24.04, Fedora 40) when dragging to the edge of the screen, a black window appears and covers the entire screen in the guest. This behavior is really annoying and occurs when doing things like, for example, selecting some text that happens to be...

I want to work on the thunderbolt driver in Linux kernel. For that I need to have my TBT4/5 devices connected directly to the Linux VM. Meaning Linux should recognize my device as TBT4/5. My devices are TBT4/5 Hubs, SSD enclosures and DP monitors. Can you confirm that Parallels will pass my...

I have a Parallels Debian Gnu Linux VM running on a Intel Mac mini. I switched to a Mac mini M4 pro Apple Silicon and would like to run my old Debian Gnu Linux VM there. How can I migrate it? Thanks for your help, Heiko

Hey peeps, I have been having some issues on my M1 MacBook Pro and Parallels Desktop, in that my arm64 Kali Guest VM (2024-10-15) fails to adjust its resolution and scaling upon launch. Some days it works flawlessly and beautifully, but other times I have to exit and re-enter full-screen in...

This is Parallels Desktop running on an Apple M1 MacBook Pro and an Arch Linux VM. This VM used to work. Now, if I attempt to re-install Parallels tools with the latest Arch update I get ``` % cd ~/Parallels\ Tools % ./install-gui modprobe: FATAL: Module prl_tg not found in directory...

I've upgraded Parallels to 18.3.3 on my iMac with MacOS 11.7.10. I attempted to install Parallels on an old Ubuntu Linux pvm, but the installation stalled. The pvm is now listed as "suspended." Restarting the pvm brings up the file listing, and restarting the installation just does the same...

After running through the Ubuntu install options, I eventually get a screen that says "Sorry, there was a problem completing the installation." I have tried, many times, with Ubuntu 24.04.x and 24.10.
