Re: [Xen-users] Fresh ubuntu/11.10 install with xen/4.1; virsh doesn't run

[Richard Broberg <rhbroberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

That may indeed be the case, but I need more details in a response to fix the problem - as in - what to do to fix it.  The end result is that I have a xen-enabled kernel with xen installed, but cannot run any (useful) xen commands (virt-install fails, as noted).

I could not find any obvious document explaining "follow these guidelines for setting up xen on ubuntu/11.10" - but I'd be happy to be pointed to one.

I am very excited that xen is in the mainstream kernel - and I would like to see better adoption of xen as well.  Having it work out-of-the-box will help that cause.

From what I can tell, there seems to be some installation issues with respect to pathnames - keymap directories and qemu binaries and the like.

virsh&libvirt environment is not set for Xen.

I'm using a fresh ubuntu/11.10 install (I've tried this on both x86 and x86_64 - same behavior on each).
After installation and applying outstanding o/s updates, I issue:

apt-get install -y xen-hypervisor-4.1-i386

I reboot, choose the xen choice from the grub menu at bootup.

root@ubuntu-server:~# virsh version
error: failed to get the hypervisor version
error: internal error Cannot find suitable emulator for i686
Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.2
Using library: libvir 0.9.2
Using API: QEMU 0.9.2

I can see services running:
