The created VPS will sometime produce this error

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = (unset),
LC_ALL = (unset),
LANG = “en_US.UTF-8″
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (“C”).

To fix this:

sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

After the following steps, my network stops :
# Edit /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and uncomment this line:

(network-script network-bridge)

# Comment out this line:

(network-script network-dummy)

# Restart xend:

sudo xend restart

I have a static IP assigned to eth0. Do I need any additional steps?

Thanks !!

I can’t get the network running, and when i do

I get an error saying
Package libc6-xen is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libc6-xen has no installation candidate

I’m trying to install xen on a amd64 based laptop. Any help?
Thanks. The guide is great other than this particular prob.

My CPU will not support Xen, on an IBM T42 laptop, you need a PAE enabled CPU,

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae will tell you if you can run Xen.

vainov: Thanks for pointing out the typos! I’ve fixed them. And I also faced a similar problem getting the 2.6.20-15 kernel images to work so sorry can’t help you there.

Comment to my previous posting: Kernel images v 2.6.20-15 don't seem to work. If I use images v 2.6.19-4 then everything works fine. Additional typo appears in listing for /etc/xen/vm_feisty_base.config.example.sxp The swap file is named feisty_base_swap.img in the initial procedure, but in the sample the 'disk =' paramter requests a swap file named base_swap.img.
