Pkg xen devel - Mar 2013 - Bug#702369: can't install wheezy from template

Package: xcp-xe
Version: 1.3.2-14
Severity: important

My dom0 is 64 bit wheezy with the xen-xapi environment

I try the following:

xe vm-install \
 template=Debian\ Wheezy\ 7.0\ \(64-bit\) new-name-label=wheezytest1

xe vm-param-set uuid=$MY_UUID \
   other-config:install-repository=http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/

xe vif-create network-uuid=$MY_NET_UUID \
  vm-uuid=$MY_UUID device=0

xe vm-start uuid=$MY_UUID


I have the following problems:

a) it insists on doing an express install (I want expert mode), there is
no documentation about how to force it to expert mode

b) when it gets to the choose a mirror stage, it is impossible to
proceed, it rejects every mirror I try, I'm guessing that it is not
correctly looking for wheezy packages in the mirrors

Also, the ALT key doesn't work with the vnc viewer, so I can't easily
switch virtual consoles, and the VNC viewer is extremely slow, it would
be much better to use a `xm console' style text interface for the installer.

Hi,

I'm not sure how to reply to the other things you wrote, but for the
above, why don't you use "xe console"? It works pretty well for
the
Debian installer. I never used VNC for installing a Debian, as it's too
slow, as you said.
