Sorry , right after Hardy Heron 8.04
No Xen Dom0 support in Ubuntu Servers 8.10,9.04,9.10,10.04

Regarding Libvirt&Virtinst  Xen Support :

1. Seems to be OK in 9.10
2. Seems to be broken in 10.04
View :-
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/135142/index.html

I might be missing something in 10.04, but virt-install fails to launch VNC console
as it was in 9.10, regardless virt-viewer stays exactly the same.
Install only (virtinst and python-virtinst)  does allow to run virt-install for Xen 4.0 DomUs,
but vncviewer should be issued manually. DomU doesn't  restart automatically
and requires:-
# virsh start DomainName
# vncviewer localhost:0

Submitting bug to launchpad doesn't make much sense. Xen support dropped.
Libvirt 0.7.5 doesn't seem to  be properly working with Xen, i mean virsh behavior
is strange. It does some things and some doesn't.


Boris.

Xen Dom0 support was dropped in 8.04 Hardy Heron.
Canonical likes KVM.

The problem is that some versions of Ubuntu (and possibly Debian)
doesn't have working Xen system, mainly due to lack of working dom0
kernel. Boris' post is a good way to start on Ubuntu.

RHEL/Centos and opensuse users can simply use bundled Xen version,
which despite being not the latest, is sufficient for most server
usage scenario.
