#193 (kali|arm64|parallels desktop)
Hi! Thanks for reading! A quick snippet doc here as I am trying to resolve a clipboard issue between host and guest VMs, I needed to install the parallels tools but there were some speed humps along the way. A quick reminder when you are installing parallels desktop tools into Kali 2024.1 that's running on apple silicon (m chips)
Have a quick read of this: https://kb.parallels.com/129740
You can follow steps 1, 2 and 3 of the "Install Parallels Tools using GUI"
in Kali 2024.1, mounted ISOs would not have permissions to execute, so you would need to copy those mounted files into a user-owned directory. (eg. ~/Downloads/foo)
You would also need this command to help install any other dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -y dkms libelf-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential;
As of writing (9 May 24) the base version of 2024.1 -(5da710fac36899ff132cfe5e14c7df594086d2d0d7b3503247d8945aa258eac9) has the kernel on 6.6.9 but the repos does not have the linux-headers for 6.6.9, you would need to perform an update of this first.
What worked for me is getting it to 6.6.15
If you choose not to update to 6.6.15, and the kali default repos do not have the proper linux-headers for the proper dependency resolution, you have to manually resolve it before the parallels tool script could run.
once those dependencies are resolved, you would be able to execute the install script that you copied from the cdrom mountpoint into that foo directory you created (as mentioned above)
sudo ./install
