We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

  • stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
  • Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
  • pygrub has been removed
  • optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

Writing something to add the name into xenstore (amongst other things, such as using xl to update my assignable pci devices) is on my todo list; right now I just kick off script on bootup, but that won't work for me once I start using xendomains to auto-start. @fernando_ccs17, my desktop has both an ATI and a Nvidia graphics card in it, and I spend a few hours trying to get the official Nvidia drivers working, only to have to give up for now. The problem is that Nvidia have already stated that they will only support the Quadro series when it comes to virtualization, so i'm waiting for nouveau support to improve. The ATI card, which is passed through to a Windows domU, works much better (although still with quirks at times)

Re "Domain-0" and (null), the relevant lines in xencommons are: echo Setting domain 0 name... xenstore-write "/local/domain/0/name" "Domain-0" My thoughts: It appears to be using "xenstore-write" to place an entry "Domain-0" into the 'name' field of its database. There is only one dom0, so there should not be a "/local/domain/1/name" or "Domain-1" etc. It is unlikely that there will be anything to be gained by checking the value of "/local/domain/0/name/", so unless errors happen it was not a high priority for getting the service file to work.

paleo9 commented on 2012-11-11 14:15 (UTC)

Nothing to worry about. In the old xencommons script, which has been replaced by systemd service files, there was a line which gave the name Domain-0. Can't remember off hand, maybe printed a line into the pid file? Anyway, this line wasn't included in the service file. It's not used by anything, just a label for human eyes.

loper commented on 2012-11-11 14:04 (UTC)

any idea why am I having (null) instead of Domain-0?

luolimao commented on 2012-11-11 13:19 (UTC)

@paleo9 Removed the file from the package.

fernando_ccs17 commented on 2012-11-11 13:17 (UTC)

Hmm... So it works only with nouveau. I Need 3D support for my 9800GT. You know...

paleo9 commented on 2012-11-11 13:03 (UTC)

Just for info: My card is nvidia, I have no problems with the nouveau driver.

fernando_ccs17 commented on 2012-11-11 12:59 (UTC)

Ok thanks. I'm also having issues with Nvidia drivers with Xen, but it looks that the problem is with the drivers, not Xen. I'm reporting a bug right now. It appears to be a known issue... http://linuxers.org/howto/how-install-nvidia-driver-xen-kernel-centos-55final

Error messages about "'failed to execute /usr/lib/.... xend/udev_event':No such file or directory" (lots of them) are caused by /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules xend is (a) deprecated and (b) not used, it is safe to remove xend.rules

fernando_ccs17 commented on 2012-11-11 12:43 (UTC)

failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/socket:/org/xen/xend/udev_event' 'socket:/org/xen/xend/udev_event': No such file or directory I get dozens of this message on boot and on journalctl. Why's that?
