@olivierlambert I did ./install.sh -d sles -m 14 and it installed but didn't report back to the panel

olivierlambert

Double check the service is started

Soarin

@olivierlambert It wasn't but I had reinstalled it just now and this is the output:

It seems to changed the memory to dynamic on the XO Web but no icon still on the panel

The name of the service is xe-linux-distribution.service if the installation script detected systemd, else /etc/init.d/xe-linux-distribution.

@stormi
I've installed xen-tools manually on openSuSE 15.1
can start manually

systemctl start xe-linux-distribution.service

but can't enable and add to startupscript

systemctl enable xe-linux-distribution.service
xe-linux-distribution.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable xe-linux-distribution
/sbin/insserv: No such file or directory

Should I create systemctl startup script from scratch or possible can I copy somewhere?

stormi

First I'd try to see why it says that xe-linux-distribution.service is not a native service. Where's that file located and what does it contain?

Ivan

@stormi It's located on /etc/init.d/xe-linux-distribution
and looks like it's SysV service, not systemctl, because I can not enable

xe-linux-distribution.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.

Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable xe-linux-distribution
/sbin/insserv: No such file or directory

stormi

Maybe /sbin/insserv is located elsewhere and needs a symlink, or maybe it's included in a package that you haven't installed?

/sbin/insserv
Thank you.

Looks like tools not work on OpenSuSE Tumbleweed

But looks like xcp-ng center not show tools

stormi

Could you also check with the xe vm-param-list uuid=YOUR_VM_UUID command?

Ivan

@stormi said in XCP Guest Tools SUSE Linux:

xe vm-param-list uuid=

What's vm-param should I grep?

stormi

PV-drivers-detected

               PV-drivers-detected ( RO): true

stormi

So don't trust XCP-ng Center on this, I'd say
