I'm trying to install xen.org server on a fresh Ubuntu server 10.10 installation.
When I try:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server ERROR:
ubuntu-xen-server : Depends : xen-tools but it is not installable and if I try:
sudo apt-get install xen-tools ERROR:
Package 'xen-tools' has no installation candidate Can you give me some advice?
Xen 4:
Step 1: Open a terminal and enter:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ukplc-team/xen-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server
I have tried under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) to install Xen for virtualization. I was very surprised because APT-GET brought the message that the package "xen-tools" was not found.
I then looked in Synaptic, since the package was not available. In the package xen-tools sources have been either forgotten or replaced by a new package. In this case, the developer would then forget the dependencies to strip properly.
The experiment package from the Debian package management failed as well, because the version was too outdated there. Next, I was maybe on the Xen tools web page, and there I found a Debian package in version 4.2, which lied to install it without problems on Ubuntu 10.10. Here is the link to the website: http://xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/releases.html there, and you download a package (Debian package: xen-tools_4.2-1_all.deb - 254k, MD5 e315aad0528784350134b0b517b70649) and install it. Then you can install "ubuntu-xen-server" or "ubuntu-xen-desktop" problem via Synaptic or apt-get.
On Ubuntu server 10.10 the xen-tools package is not available.
You can either install xen-hypervisor and xen-utils or try a completely different approach
using the xen-cloud ISO.
If your choice is the first one don't install an ext4 partition or you will find some extra troubles along the way.
Here you find how to install xen-server on Ubuntu 10.10:
sudo aptitude search xen?
