mint

Hello, I am trying to run Linux Mint 22 on my MacBook Pro 13" M2 through Parallels Desktop. When I choose the .iso file for the OS I get the following message: "The specified image cannot be used because your Mac is equipped with the Apple M series chip that doesn't support Intel-based operating...

I've beeen trying to install Mint 21 to an external drive, and unlike my other VMs, it finds some reason to crash, and at times detecting a faulty hard drive and/or asking to eject the media (the only way I can see is to go to CD/DVD and "Eject) to continue the installation. I've made a number...

Hi, Not trying to be awkward with the title, but, I'm a bit at my wit's end with Parallels and Linux guests -- I've used the product since it first came out and would prefer not to jump ship to the V* company. I am currently using Version 17.0.1 (51482), and the only Linux guest that I'm...

I am installing LMDE4 - do I tell Parallels it is Debian or Mint? I suspect the only difference is in the logo and maybe in the tools install.

I had been testing Mint 19 using VMWare. After moving over to Parallels, I was having long logins, crashes, and core files showing up in my home directory. After poking around I noticed that the rcx.d (x = 0 to 5 +S) directories still had startup items for VMware tools. After manually deleting...

I have a file that keeps showing up - its named "core", is 4.2 meg and shows up on my root directory. Anyone else seeing it? I suspect a crash in Parallels Tools during logon but haven't found it in syslog yet.

After seeing slow boot ups and lots of ntp traffic on boot up of Mint, I did some digging. Mint installs with a pile of ubuntu ntp servers defined in /etc/ntp.conf. When using a NAT virtual connection, the VM does not see any local time servers (like my router). The network traffic to...

I use Mint on a laptop so I know all the tweaks and tips to running Linux in a laptop environment. Has anyone experimented with setting up a laptop Mint environment under Parallels to maximize battery time, reduce SSD wear, etc ? I would assume that the normal "bare metal" setup tips apply to a...

Hi, is someone having the same issue ? Under Linux Mint 18 and Parallels 13 (MacPro i7 16Gb Ram ) when suspending the VM and restarting it Cinnammon always crashes with this message: Cinnamon just crashed. You are currently running in Fallback Mode. Any suggestion ? Thanks,
