Installing Parallels Tools in Linux
Parallels Tools are now available for Linux guest OSes with X.org 6.7 or later. See Parallels
Tools Available for Different Guest OSes (page 87).
Warning. Before starting Parallels Tools installation, close all applications to prevent data
loss during possible X-Server restart. If the X-Server doesn't respond after Parallels Tools
installation or update, restart your virtual machine.
To install Parallels Tools
1 Start the virtual machine.
2 Press Control+Option(Alt) to release the keyboard and mouse input to Mac OS X.
From the Actions menu, choose Install Parallels Tools. The ISO image of Parallels Tools
installation CD will be connected to the virtual machine.
By default, the image file is located in /Library/Parallels/Tools/vmtools-
linux.iso
3 Click anywhere in the guest OS window to capture the keyboard and mouse input in the
guest OS.
4 Start the terminal.
5 Make sure the CD-ROM is mounted.
6 Change the directory to the CD-ROM and start the installer by entering
sh parallels-tools.run
Note. You must have root privileges to run the command.
Wait while Parallels Tools are being installed.
7 Restart the virtual machine.
Troubleshooting
For successful functioning of some of Parallels Tools, the prluserd service is needed. The
service must be started on the guest OS startup. In most Linux guest OSes, the appropriate
command is added to the startup script automatically during the installation of Parallels Tools.
To check that the service is running, enter the following command:
ps -A | grep prluserd
If the startup scripts in your system are bsd-like (e.g. slackware, zenwalk), you have to run
prluserd manually or add the command which starts the prluserd service to the init
script. You must have root privileges to run the service.
