Hello Folks,

I am in the process of trying out both Parallels 10 and Fusion 8. Parallels seemed to have installed successfully however I am running into a roadblock with Fusion 8. I am trying to run Ubuntu 12.04.5 in Fusion 8 but upon installation I get the following error: "Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Failed to initialize monitor device"

I have tried troubleshooting by uninstalling and reinstalling Fusion 8, repairing disk permissions, and restarting my computer. None of the steps work and I still get the error.

I would appreciate any help in how to go about fixing this.

I am running OS X version 10.9.5 and trying to install Ubuntu LTS 12.04.5

My laptops specs are below:
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
500GB HDD


Thanks in advance!
