[Macwinrob]

Are any of these issues fixed in 16.1.2?

sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app
THis command did not solve my same problem
My network cannot start

 

[SimonB19]

I can confirm after much messing around
sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app
DOES WORK. You just need to keep the terminal window open while you use Parallels. Have tested multiple times in Win 10 and Ubuntu. I've been looking to write an automator script to see if I could run the command and then open Parallels to make life a little easier.

Network issue for Win 10, Mac 10.14.2 and Kali Linux VM's.
Also, keeping terminal open did not work for me either.

What an absolute freakin' mess. I can't tell you how frustrated I am that bridged networking is DOA. "Ready" for Big Sur? PD 16 is ready for the dumpster to which it has set fire to my networking development and testing for a paying client. I'd hoped Corel would fix the yearly upgrade-and-burn cycle...but NOOOO...it's worse than ever.

Hi! I Found the solution of this problem. You can use this to start Parallels without sudo and it should work.

1. sudo nano /Library/Preferences/Parallels/network.desktop.xml
2. find <UseKextless>1</UseKextless> (value can be -1), and change the value to the <UseKextless>0</UseKextless>
3. if you can't to find this tag, then just create it under root tag <ParallelsNetworkConfig ...>here</ParallelsNetworkConfig>

Result: you can start/restart Parallels without sudo - network will work.

Hello,i've tried but doesn't work.
I deactivated the SIP, extended the permissions of the folder to "read and write" and changed the value of "network.desktop.xml" to "0".
Every time I start PD, I get the error "To complete Parallels Desktop setup, you need to restart your Mac". Any suggestions?

1. Quit Parallels
2. Opern Terminal & Run this command
   sudo nano /Library/Preferences/Parallels/network.desktop.xml
3. In the following line

Problem Solved.

I got this problem after downloading it on an unofficial site. After I downloaded it on the official site with the Pro version, this problem didn't appear.

I occasionally have this issue. Parallels 16.3.1 Microsoft build 21292.1 Go to settings-network and internet-use the troubleshooter to fix the connection. Always works for me but I'm not as tech savvy as most on this forum.

First - Reset your network devices to make sure your router hasn't become flooded with data. If you're using a wireless connection, optimize your internet connection to rule out a connection issue.
Second - Update your drivers and operating system to resolve any compatibility issues.

I have just installed Parallels 16.1.2 and have still the same problem. "No network connection".

Hi,
I tried this: sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app
Parallels asked me to select macOS High Serries file and then it seems new VM installation started in a new window, after one night running this process, I lost 60 GB in my HDD, and the porccess with not finish, I stopped completely this running process. But I don't know where this 60 GB where used. Could you please tell me where can I find this used 60GB to delete them? Before this process I had 190 GB, now I have 130 GB.
Thank you

Hello... plese do the following

-> close all VMS and Parallels Desktop
-> open Terminal and type: sudo -b /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/prl_client_app

Parallels will opens and maybe you need to open your VM again... the network will work...
It is a temporary solution while the official parallels support not work this.. its incredible that we not have any solution for official channel.

Hi
I have 2 VM in my parallel Desktop (Win 7 and 10)
I used this solution as temporary solution about 2 months ago and now, I can't run Windows 10 without this command line.
my mean is after restarting my laptop, I have to do it one time (till the next restart) then can run windows 10
otherwise it show me an error that I don't have virtual memory (or something like this error)

any suggestion to solve it?
