Issues for Mouse and Coherence after DskTp 15 install for Cento07, Kali 2018.4 and 2019.2

JohnP13 · Aug 13, 2019

On my MacOS, with the new Parallels Desktop 15 update, I open Window 10 1903, and Ubuntu 18.04.02, as well as Windows 7, and all goes well with the Toolbox update. However, not the case for CentOS7, Kali 2018.4 and Kali 2019.2, for all three OS's, I have a non-sync mouse, no coherence supported, and the screen is super big in the window and up close no matter how you adjust it. For CentOS7, I can't even get to the OS, it hangs at starting up the Gnome Display, and I'm unable to get to a command line or anything safe mode like. However for the two versions of Kali, they boot, and run. Anyone else having issues? What can I try to get these Linux OS's free and clear. I don't mind installing a new CentOS7, I think I have 7.5, and now 7.6 is out. Please let me know. Thanks

I just tried this on Kali 2019.2, and now it won't boot up, it freezes/hang and locks up right as I start the machine.

Try to boot some older kernel (select advanced options in GRUB menu) and collect/analyze logs after boot.

When can we expect an update for parallels tools, to fix those scaling issues?

This issue will be fixed in the upcoming PD15 update/hotfix, but timeline of release/update/hotfix is under non disclosure.

I'm on Debian with Xfce, coherence is broken. I don't see any std out when I type and the desktop menu doesn't render properly in coherence mode.

Hi MitchR1. Please provide the Parallels Desktop version on which you are using the Linux VM.

I am running Parallels Desktop 15. Coherence broke when I upgraded from v. 14. Linux Debian Stretch with Xfce4 desktop v. 4.12

Your Linux virtual machine may work in Coherence mode but this view mode is no longer supported. Please refer to this article for more information.

Wow, that stinks. I loved coherence. Can I revert back to Desktop 14?

Any updates on this issue? I'm not able to install Parallels Tools on a Kali Linux VM with Parallels Desktop 15.

I'm completely lost. I was using an Opensource Hypervizor version I've bought the version 15 because I stoped using parallels on an old version.

Now I'm struggled, I was using a Kali 2020.2, opened a ticket and the support said that the 2020.2 wasn't supported. I'm trying to work with the 2019.4 version without lucky.

Completely lost.
