Xen project Mailing List

Hello,

I'm trying to get the Nvidia proprietary driver working for Xen 4.4. Here my current configuration:

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic

Nvidia driver: I tried all options, from the Ubuntu packages (regular and updates), the latest stable from the Nvidia website, etc.

I also used

> export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1

as root for all trials. The nvidia driver compiles and installs, it boots to a regular non-Xen desktop, but I get invariably a blank screen when I boot up Xen. It doesn't even show the login screen.

I can login remotely via ssh, no problem. Somehow I can't figure out how to make it work.

Any suggestions?

Indeed, I am running dom0 with the Nvidia proprietary driver.
I have been using it for years without any problems.

The installer will complain if it detects Xen and abort the
build by default. You have to set the environment variable
IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 to get it to build.

Unrelated to Xen, the Nvidia driver might not always build
against the very latest kernels, but if you are a few
versions behind on the kernel it should build fine.
