Hi!

I have some installation problems on Ubuntu. It seems, parallels won_'t install correctly.
First of all i had to patch the kernel so it could compile.
Afterwards it won't insert the modules correctly as it seems.
Here is the error message:
philipp@ubuntu:~$ sudo parallels-config

[: 141: ==: unexpected operator
Compiling Parallels Workstation 2.2 drivers...

Run 'dmesg' command for more information.

This problem occurs not only in Parallels Workstation 2.2 but also in version 2.1.
I think i have some dependencies missing, but i can't see which ones.

Thanks, matahari
 
Let's install the compiler package, kernel sources and libqt3. Those are the necessary ones in Dapper.
sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt3-mt linux-headers-`uname -r`
 
these packages are all installed...
I tried all this already....

I really have no idea anymore...

Might be the new bash -> dash transition.
Open the parallels-config script with sudo gedit /usr/bin/parallels-config and edit the first line so that it reads #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh and try again.
 
I do have the exact same problem. David, I tried the solution you proposed but it didn't do the trick. I try to figure out what is causing this looking at the output of dmesg but I'm a bit confused.

I can confirm this as well. I changed the file to /bin/bash and got no change

This is with the Kubutnu 6.10 beta 1 on parallels 2.1 and 2.2.
 
Edit, as root, the files /usr/lib/parallels/autostart/drivers_start and /usr/lib/parallels/autostart/drivers_stop changing the first line to #!/bin/bash.
Afterwards, run parallels-config again to get Parallels working. You also need to change the first line in parallels-config by the way.
 
I can't believe it was because of that ! I learned something today. Works great now. Thanks a lot David.

Cheers,

Vincent
