I have: * Parallels 5, build 5.0.9344 * on a Mac Pro running 10.4.11 * and my virtual machine is Ubuntu 8.04 I primarily use this setup as a subversion server. For the past several months, after 2-8 hours, the virtual subversion server becomes unresponsive -- I'll try to commit something remotely and I'll eventually get a time-out error. The IP address still responds to ping, FWTW. The GUI is usually unresponsive, with these notes: I've found that I can move the mouse within the Ubuntu GUI, and I can see the power icon change shade once as I mouse over it. However, I can't click on that button, nor can I interact with any other menu items, nor right-click on the desktop and get its contextual menu. I don't believe any of these problems appeared until I upgraded to Parallels 5. However, as usually happens, I didn't understand the problem until some time had passed and I forget all of the exact details. Can anyone suggest what might be causing the problem, and possible solutions or further tests? I'd prefer not to upgrade from Ubuntu 8 for now, since I'm happy with the Parallels Tools integration.
giving up on this never mind. No responses & no time; I'm giving up on this VM and trying to move my svn repository elsewhere.
