![]() ![]() But, TW is different… a release date is used for its version number which changes constantly and so specifying any number for TW is useless because it’d be effective for only approx a week.īottom line is that if the Parallels problem is what I suspect it is, they’ll have to change their code in a significant way particularly since other distros are just starting to implement Factory rolling releases like openSUSE (we’re not the only ones).With FamApp, you get rewarded every time you save and pay. With openSUSE, all distros TW can be identified easily as a release version number which doesn’t change, eg 13.1, 13.2 and 42.1. Parallels is likely mounting install media based on detecting the type of distro… Why is anyone’s guess since I don’t think that distro detection is a critical factor for installing/creating in any other virtualization… In other virtualization, detecting or specifying a particular distro seems to be used only for proposing selected defaults, and won’t cause a fail if the defaults aren’t used. If I were make a wild guess based on their existing comments about their workaround for other distros that aren’t recognized, You should probably raise an issue with the Parallels people. (Windows and Suse) Only TW is giving me problems. I’ve installed many operating systems on Parallels in the past with no problems. I try to run TW and it either stops at a black screen or it goes to command line. OH WOW, I must of had “Old Farts memory”. OpenSUSE is a mainstream distro, so the above quote doesn’t seem to be useful… Although there is an outside chance that if there is something specific to Fedora it can be back up a bit… I’d be guessing but assume that once your Parallel Tools iso is mounted, if you need to use a console command line to find and execute the Tools install, it should be located at /run/media/$USER/ The above referenced article assumes that you have a working Desktop. Thus you may want to choose either a particular mainstream OS type or other general type, like “Other Linux” or “Other Linux kernel 2.x” ![]() For example Puppy Linux 5.2.8 and Bodhi Linux are based on Ubuntu. NOTE: Many Linux distributions are based on other mainstream distributions. then at the end ir required a reboot at which time the reboot loads to “Terminal”. so I told it to use parallels “other Linux” and it installed. Using Parallels, telling it to just use Tumbleweed’ iso doesn’t find it as install-able. While executing, you will be prompted to agree to install a couple times (I decided not to make the script entirely non-interactive). To make it easier to install Crossover, instead of stepping through the original codeweavers wiki I referenced above, I have created a script you can download and execute which does everything described in the wiki. In fact, I’ve just now run those steps in a test TW and all seems to have installed without an error (did not test whether Crossover is working properly, but assume it should be working). Although it was written for LEAP, I don’t see any reason why those steps can’t be tried on supported version of openSUSE. The following is the only recent guide I can find regarding installing Crossover on openSUSE. The following is the Install Guide from Parallels, and it describes how you can point to an installation source, either a real, physical DVDROM or an ISO fileĪfter you have completed your TW installation, you should have a bootable TW Guest. If any of the above is incorrect, then needs to be clarified. Before proceeding, it should be noted that from what I briefly investigated, current Crossover may only support 32-bit.You wish to run Crossover in your TW to run Windows apps in your TW (IIRC Crossover is an interesting alternative to WINE).You wish to run TW as a virtual machine Guest.You’re running Parallels as your virtualization technology.First, let’s verify assumptions since this thread originally started with asking how to install Crossover, then evolved into how to install TW using Parallels.
