Can somone tell me what I did wrong?

Hi,
it seems like you have the same problem I got first.
I had that very same log output, when I tried to use the 'parallels' command from the console using my normal user.

Then I found that it worked when using root to start from the console but this was not how I intended to use it.

Later I noticed that parallels runs, using the normal user, when started by the desktop manager, in my case KDE. I added a menu item with the 'parallels" command and live happily ever after.

Best regards, Cotto

P.S. I'm using Kubuntu 6.10 as the host system.

 

I remember this as a problem about parallels renaming some root readonly files at startup.
