Sorry, unfortunately I’ve already cleaned my browser history… but I can tell you how I fixed this issue in my notebook.
Install Bumblebee
Turn off your computer and go to “Advanced options for Parrot GNU/Linux” in the GRUB menu. Then select the recovery mode and install “bumblebee” using ‘apt install bumblebee’.
Install Nouveau
Download the full Nouveau kernel tree using the command:https://github.com/skeggsb/linux.git # --depth=1’
Start Bumblebee
According to its documentation in order to use Bumblebee you need to add your own user to bumblebee group:
That process worked just fine for me. If you have further questions/problems try reading the following links:
Installing bumblebee and restarting the computer only worked for me : I saw that on other forums.

maybe thats was the case for me too, because i have bumblebee installed
I also have the same problem. before turning off parrotos everything works perfectly but when i press shutdown or turn off , the laptop hangs. it’s not hardware problem because in linux mint even shutdown is working perfectly.
