Sometimes when some Ubuntu components are not up-to-date, automatic installation of Parallels Tools may fail. To ensure that all the components are up-to-date and perform the installation manually, follow the steps below:

1. Run the virtual machine.
2. Mount the Parallels Tools .iso by clicking Actions > (Re-)Install Parallels Tools.
   
3. Inside the virtual machine, open Terminal and execute the following commands one by one:
   
   sudo apt-get install dkms libelf-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom
sudo ./install
4. Follow the Parallels Tools Installer instructions to complete the installation.
5. When the installation of Parallels Tools is complete, restart your virtual machine.
