intrepid won't shut down under Mac's Parallel

Hi folks, Im using ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex with Parallel on black macbook intel. I just downloaded ubuntu yesterday and have serious fun with it. It's the latest release so i assumed everything will be ok.

Everything runs well until i try to shut it down. It won't completely shut down. It only displays ubuntu progress bar and stop right there. I can simply shut down my Parallel Virtualization apps but afraid it will affect the OS on the long run.

Is there any way i can shut it down completely? I tried sudo command (sudo init 0) and still got the same problem.

Best regards,

i really appreciate any suggestion to above problem please help

thank you in advance

what version of parallels are you using? I don't think that parallels 3.x fully supports Intrepid yet. It is working pretty well in parallels 4.0 for me though.

hi,

i'm using parralels 3.0 (build 5600), macbook 1.1 (black) running Leopard 10.5.5

i read somewhere in forum that such "shutdown" issue is a common problem in ubuntu. maybe parallels is the problem. if i upgrade parallels to version 4.0, do i need to reinstall ubuntu from scratch again?

thanks

I think you can upgrade your VM... but the upgrade to 4.0 from 3.x is not free. You might look into using VirtualBox. It is a free, open source Virtual Machine.

hi again :) thanks for the suggestion. i'm very comfortable working with Parallels for the past few months, so i consider upgrading it to 4.0 i'll post the result later.
