Parallels 16: Network initialization failed.

[andrascii]

Can someone help me. These instructions are a bit advanced for me. I followed them and typed 1 in the terminal line. WHen I typed 2 (after I put in my PW) it can't find the command. I don't know how to do #3. Step by step would be appreciated.

Inside ParallelsNetworkConfig means that you need to paste text between strings <ParallelsNetworkConfig ...> and </ParallelsNetworkConfig>. So you can see my screenshot above.

Parallells 16.5.0 fixes this. I installed it today and briefly tested it. Success

So when I do the command it says i am not in the sudoers file. I am running parallels on a external disk

It is said that Parallel Desktop 16.1.0 has solved this problem.

I had this problem with 16.5…

Hi! I Found the solution of this problem. You can use this to start Parallels without sudo and it should work.

1. sudo nano /Library/Preferences/Parallels/network.desktop.xml
2. find <UseKextless>1</UseKextless> (value can be -1), and change the value to the <UseKextless>0</UseKextless>
3. if you can't to find this tag, then just create it under root tag <ParallelsNetworkConfig ...>here</ParallelsNetworkConfig>

Result: you can start/restart Parallels without sudo - network will work.

u r the best! thanks man
