Xen 4:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server

Solution 2

I have tried under Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) to install Xen for virtualization. I was very surprised because APT-GET brought the message that the package "xen-tools" was not found.

I then looked in Synaptic, since the package was not available. In the package xen-tools sources have been either forgotten or replaced by a new package. In this case, the developer would then forget the dependencies to strip properly.

The experiment package from the Debian package management failed as well, because the version was too outdated there. Next, I was maybe on the Xen tools web page, and there I found a Debian package in version 4.2, which lied to install it without problems on Ubuntu 10.10. Here is the link to the website: http://xen-tools.org/software/xen-tools/releases.html there, and you download a package (Debian package: xen-tools_4.2-1_all.deb - 254k, MD5 e315aad0528784350134b0b517b70649) and install it. Then you can install "ubuntu-xen-server" or "ubuntu-xen-desktop" problem via Synaptic or apt-get.

I'm trying to install xen.org server on a fresh Ubuntu server 10.10 installation.

When I try:
```
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xen-server
```
ERROR:
```
ubuntu-xen-server : Depends : xen-tools but it is not installable
```
and if I try:
```
sudo apt-get install xen-tools
```
ERROR:
```
Package 'xen-tools' has no installation candidate
```
Can you give me some advice?

  When you say "no luck" an error would help. What do you see if you enter sudo aptitude search xen?

  thanks and sorry for the poor explanation. The search command gives me the ubuntu-xen-server package but not the xen-tools. I have also xen-hypervisor and xen-utils.

Deutch is not my mother tongue but I think I can get the overall meaning, if you understand it can you translate the main steps please?

While this will potentially solve OP's problem, it would be helpful to include a more explicit explanation of what your commands do.
