Hello to all,
I'm a fairly new user of Arch. Since I could not get Arch running on my old spare laptop due to Broadcom driver issues (I tried for hours to get the internet-connection working but failed miserably), I have now chosen to install it on my Mac via Parallels Virtual Machine.
I am using Parallels Tools 10.2.1.29006 and Arch 4.2.5-1. I also followed the "Preparing dependencies" steps outlined here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Parallels. It seems I might need a different version of Arch or xorg, but I cannot see my version of Parallels Tools listed on that page, so I am unsure which version of Arch/xorg I might need.
So, I tried to install it anyway, but the installer fails. It throws out an error log:

2015-11-18T02:31:37+0100: Error: An error occurred when installing Parallels Tools. Please go to /var/log/parallels-tools-install.log for more information.
2015-11-18T02:31:43+0100: Exiting with code 1 I would happily upload the output of other logs/commands, but I simply do not know which ones might be necessary or specifically relevant in relation to the error.
One more thing: Am I right to assume that installing Parallels will auto-configure my display drivers? Since this is my main reason behind my effort to install Parallels Tools. As of now, I am stuck with only one possible resolution of 800x600 and it looks awfull.
Thnx in advance for any help I might get!
Newbie, LinLuxe

As of today (19.11.2015), Parallel tools have not been updated to integrate kernels version 4.2.5+.
You will have to wait and watch the change logs before you can upgrade your kernel.
Yes, the Parallel engineers are quite slow (compared to VMware folks). I hope this will change in the future.

Hmm, that's too bad. Maybe I should witch to VMware.
I guess I should mark the thread as solved though..
Thnx for answering shailentj.
