Have tested these instructions successfully under Ubuntu 16.04LTS and 14.04LTS.
- Create Ubuntu server instance under Parallels (obviously).
- Start VM, goto Actions - Install Parallels Tools... to mount the ISO image.
- Note: if this fails, or updating tools for an existing guest you can do the following:
- Goto
Devices
>CD/DVD 1
>Connect Image...
. - Select the following ISO image:
/Applications/Parallels Desktop/Contents/Resources/Tools/prl-tools-lin.iso
. - This will mount the tools CD image.
