How to install xen-tools and xen-server on Ubuntu 10.10

  • 772

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?

  1. 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    The experiment package from the Debian package management failed as well, because the version was too outdated there.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.

  3. 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.
