I’ve been using Parallels Desktop for Mac to run a Debian Linux 6.0 virtual machine. I wanted to install the Parallels Tools in the Debian virtual machine so I could take advantage of better integration between the Linux virtual machine and the Mac OS X host computer.
Parallels Desktop provides you with an opportunity to connect your virtual machine to a wireless network. Using the Bridged Ethernet mode, you can set up a WiFi connection and access the Internet wirelessly. When operating in this mode, your virtual machine appears on the network as a stand-alone computer with its own IP address and network name. Launch Parallels or Parallels Desktop Lite, but do not start any virtual machine Select the virtual machine you want to delete from the Control Center (if Parallels launches immediately into a VM, exit the VM and go to the main screen first). I am unable to install Parallels Tools in Linux virtual machine. I am executing all needed commands in Terminal, but the installation does not start. Open Ubuntu Linux Terminal window via shortcut Ctrl+Alt(Option)+T. Get the administrator's / root privileges (depending on your Linux distribution): sudo su.

Parallels Linux Vmware
It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be but it wasn’t hard to figure out. I described the procedure I used below.
- Start the virtual machine and log in.
- In the Parallels menu, select the menu command:Ipad support near me. This will mount a CD image on the virtual machine’s desktop that contains the Parallels Tools installer. But, some extra steps are required to install Parallels Tools.
- Debian Linux automatically mounts the the Parallels Tools CDROM image when it is “inserted” into the virtual machine. But, for security reasons, the image is mounted in a state where no executable software on the CDROM will run.We need to unmount the CDROM and then remount it with the execute option enabled using the following commands:You will be asked to enter your super-user password.
- Go to the cdrom folder and run the Parallels Tools install script with the following commands:You will need to enter your super-user password, again.
- The Parallels Tools installer will start up. Enter “Yes” to all questions. At the final step, you can restart the virtual machine or you can choose to quit the script and restart later.
- If you restart later, unmount the Parallels Tools CD image.
- You need to restart the virtual machine for Parallels Tools to work.
Parallels Linux Vm Command
Now you can enjoy the functionality provided by Parallels Tools when using this virtual machine.
