Mageia forum

Hi everyone,

I'm a mac user and I'd like to try mageia on Parallels desktop, a system of virtualisation like virtualbox. The installation is going on without any trouble. I have yet installed the kernel sources, gcc and all their dependencies. I have also activated sudo like in the wiki. The problem occurred when I tried to install the parallels tools, set of drivers for video, audio, mouse and keyboard. Here is the log file generated by the installer :

Is there anyone who can help me to solve this issue ?

Thanks

The problem is with a change made in linux kernel 3.12. I would try to apply the patch in this post http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?294092-Fix-Patch-for-Parallel-Tools-9-0-23350-to-support-Linux-Kernel-3-12-(Ubuntu-14-04). The patch does not seem to be specific to Ubuntu.

Do you have all build dependencies installed in mageia guest. ?

maskimummu : Thanks for your link. Unfortunately, the described procedure fails on the line :

Code: Select all

patch -p1 -d prl_fs < parallels-tools-linux-3.12-prl-fs-9.0.23350.941886.patch

I don't know how to fix it.

ozky : I checked all the dependencies : only glibc doesn't comply the minimum. I need 2.3.4 and I have 2.18 in mageia 4. Can you tell me how to install the good one ?

FWIW 18 is greater than 3.

Thanks a lot, maskimummu, for your links : it works. In fact, applying the patch is returning an error, but we don't have to consider it. After, the installation goes smoothly.
