LOL thanks but no thanks. I like parallels much better, and since i grabbed one of those free registration code, why not use a "paid" software instead of an freeware. =] but thanks!!
Dedoimedo i have solved the problem... =] If you are getting the same error as me then the problem lies within the directory of the \bin\bash...it seems that it couldnt find it according to the log.
1) So what i did was COMPLETELY remove parallels.
Code:
sudo dpkg -r Parallels
2) Made sure all the repertories are there...
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt3-mt-dev
3)Here is the tricky part...according to the log file
Code:
cd drivers && make KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.27-9-generic/build clean && cd ../
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/parallels/drivers'
cd drv_main/ && make clean && cd ..
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/drv_main'
rm -rf *.o *.ko .*.cmd *.mod.c .tmp_versions
cd common; rm -rf *.o .*.cmd .tmp_versions; cd ..
cd mm; rm -rf *.o .*.cmd .tmp_versions; cd ..
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/drv_main'
cd hypervisor/ && make clean && cd ..
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/hypervisor'
/bin/sh: [[: not found
/bin/sh: [[: not found
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/hypervisor'
/bin/sh is the first error that we run into in which it can seem to find that directory. SO run this command to so it can duplicate directories that is needed
Code:
sudo mv /bin/sh /bin/sh.old && sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
4) Getting the rest of the needed files inorder for Parallels to work.
Download this:
http://www.filesend.net/download.php...1470fb28c66b9d
And run this command:
Code:
sudo cp devel.tar.gz /usr/lib/parallels/devel.tar.gz
umm...be sure you save the file to your "home" folder...i ran into an issuse when i saved it on my desktop...in which it wouldn't execute correctly.
5) Run the last command...
Code:
sudo parallels-config
Go through the agreement process...
Please note i went though and read like 50 different sites on this problem...a little bit of information there and some there...there...and there...untill i solved my problem =]
Hoped this helped you!!
