#6 Re: A brief introduction to xen-tools Posted by AndrBrn (151.56.xx.xx) on Tue 14 Aug 2007 at 19:07 Nice article and nice scripts, even if I had to make some minor changes... My dom0 system is Etch (all the packages come from the Etch repository) and to install both an Etch-based VM and a Sarge-based VM, setting the gdm role, I had to replace all the occurrences of "/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf" with "/etc/gdm/gdm.conf" in the gdm script in /etc/xen-tools/role.d folder and I had to change the last line (to make the VNC section the default) with this one: perl -pi.bak -e 's/^0=Standard\n//g ; s/^\[servers\]/\[servers\]\n0=VNC/g' ${prefix}/etc/gdm/gdm.conf It is a little bit dirty, but it works both for Sarge-based VMs where there is the "0=Standard" string in gdm.conf and for Etch-based VMs where the [servers] section in gdm.conf is empty, so there is no "0=Standard" string to replace. And finally, to install gdm, VNC and other packages for a Sarge-baded VM, I had to replace the "stable" string with the "sarge" string in the sources.list file as soon as debootstrap created the root hierarchy (I changed the file while the xen-create-image script was running): is it a bug in the debootstrap package?
