Updating Debian parallels tools for Parallels 7
![Updating Debian parallels tools for Parallels 7](https://res.cloudinary.com/audiodog/image/upload/w_640,h_155,c_scale,f_auto,q_auto/v1513806711/images/site/blog_banner_light.png)
On clicking Virtual machine/Install parallels tools seems to do nothing. What should happen is the parallels tools installer .iso image should appear mounted in the virtual cd rom drive (/media/cdrom0)
This may be due to the 'real' host cdrom drive hiding the mounted iso. To remap umount and remount the drive to make the installer appear:
# Check the paths are as described: cat /etc/fstab # Unmount current umount /media/cdrom0 umount /dev/scd0 # Remount mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom # Check it's there cd /media/cdrom0 ls # Run installer ./install # UPDATE FOR UBUNTU SERVER 12.04 #mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
