Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. I followed that article to install Parallels Tools. I'm using Fedora Design Suite. If you're interested, you can download the Fedora Design Suite here.

Here is more information about Fedora Design Suite. https://fedoramagazine.org/photography-fedora-design-suite/

Is there any update on this? I tried to install Parallels Tools onto a Fedora 23 guest (with the latest Fedora updates) today without success.

I followed the instructions on the web page. I'm attaching the output of the installer below. Looks like this is some issue with the GPL and kernel modules.
I am using Parallels Version 11.2.0 (32581).
