It was simple, but I don't know why it worked. Here's what worked for me after I updated 13.10 and received a black screen, although the toolbar on the left was showing. As stated above, always make a Parallels snapshot before running Ubuntu update, just to be safe. Just before I installed the Ubuntu updates, Parallels Tools had reinstalled itself, due to a new version of the Tools since I last used the VM, but it seems that certain kinds of Linux updates break the video driver. Voilá! On reboot and re-login, the desktop is visible.After a few minutes (I waited 5, just to be safe), make sure Parallels still has focus, and hit the Return key.
You'll see the Hard Disk icon blinking green some more.
PARALLELS DESKTOP BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH PASSWORD
Blindly type your password (make sure Parallels has focus in Mavericks). Wait about 10 seconds until the Hard Disk icon settles down. You will see the CD-Rom and Hard Disk icons in the bottom of the Parallels window blink green. From the Parallels Desktop "Virtual Machine" menu, choose "Reinstall Parallels Tools.". If I click to start any apps, like Firefox, the icon in the bottom of the Parallels screen indicate that the re is disk activity as the app starts, but the screen remains black. On reboot, I could see the login screen, then after logging in, I could see the Unity "Launcher" or whatever the call the row of icons on the left, but the rest of the screen was black. This just happened to me, with Mavericks, Parallels 2, Ubuntu 13.10 and updates installed on. Reinstalling Parallels Tools blindly does the trick.
