I have installed RealVNC for remote use. However, I need to enter my username and password. My password is a 64 character randomly generated password. I was hoping to be able to paste it in using the web console. I guess that isn't an option.

I am in the OS GUI and need to paste a 64 char password into a dialog box.

I have created an Ubuntu VM and I have installed the xo integration package. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to paste into the VM from my workstation.

What I have tried so far is pasting what I need into the box next to the copy icon, clicking the icon, and then attempting to paste into the VM. But that doesn't work. There is nothing on the clipboard to paste.

Just for closure...

I followed all your helpful guidance and am now up and running. Thank you all for your assistance.

@olivierlambert I had VGA on. (Which must be the default.) Turned it off and advancing much farther now. Thank you.

First of all, thanks for all the help. xcp-ng has always helped me out.

I switched the template to use UEFI and it seems to be hanging (or I don't have enough patience).

@stormi

The directions say... "If you switch the console to shell mode and log in, the console shows errors in 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop'".

I don't know how t do that. I am only aware of the "default" shell. How do I switch to shell mode?

@stormi said in Issue creating Ubuntu 18.04 desktop VM:

I think I've already seen this issue and that it was an ubuntu bug. See https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX265663

That looks very promising. Starting from scratch and taking this new info into account. I'll report back.

@olivierlambert
Same thing.

Crap. Typo. I am installing 18.04. So sorry about that. Didn't realize I typo in OP

@olivierlambert Trying that now. I'll report back.

@olivierlambert

I understand that 20 is out. But even numbers are LTS. LTS is their long term service issue that is updated for many years. I am following a tutorial and it is more important to match the tutorial's environment then be on the latest distro.

@Danp No. I assumed the template would "just work". What should I try?

I have tried a dozen times over the past few weeks. I cannot get one working. The most common thing happening is that I get to the installer's final screen that basically says, press this button to reboot and use your newly installed OS. I am viewing that is the web console. I click the button and the console disappears (to a white space) with the rest of the webpage showing that the VM is still running. I get some activity on the stats for maybe a minute and then it flatlines. No activity. No console. However, the machine is still in a "running" state according to XO. I have tried normal shutdown, reboot, and forced shutdown, reboot. Everything ends up with a corrupted OS on the VM that doesn't boot.

I am using the template and the latest 18.04 desktop ISO from Ubuntu's website.

As an individual, I don't see the downside of using it from the sources (except the fact you'll need to follow a 5min walk-through instead of 2 clicks).

Thank you for your advice. I will probably attempt the change over this weekend.

@BenjiReis said in Private Network Creation Greyed Out:

Hi,

The SDN controller (plugin required to create private networks) is only available on XOA Premium.
It is available for free if you build Xen Orchestra from the sources.

Regards.

So, meta-question. I have said it before that I love XOA Premium, and I would like to support it, but I am just me and it is out of my price range - because it isn't worth accepting individuals like me for the ROI.

So

Is it best from me to build from sources myself (say, in order to get private networks and who knows what else) or should I use the XOA free tier?

I'm assuming the answer is "If you can handle building from source, then you should do so."

Any guidance on this would be appreciated.

Best,
Chaim

@olivierlambert said in Private Network Creation Greyed Out:

What edition of Xen Orchestra are you using? XOA or XO from the sources?

The former - XOA

I go to create a pool network. Bonded is available, but private networks is greyed out and not available. I have three (very small) pools and it is the same for all three pools.

Any ideas? What should I look at to troubleshoot?

@BenjiReis said in Can't seem to properly create a K8S cluster:

the only requirement is taht there's a DHCP running in the network so that the master can get an IP for the nodes to use.

That is almost certainly the problem here.

So, I am thinking using a VLAN and running a VM (like pfsense) to provide DHCP.

How does that sound?
