I just did this myself today. Woooohooo!

As a Linux noob it took me a while to realize I needed SUDO before the commands. But I got it finally.

sudo - don't use CAPS in linux, lol.

@BRRABill We just finished the new VM import stuff, which get:

multiple XVA support
pool/SR select
drag and drop

We'll also include a progress bar for each file I think (sooner or later)

XO4 is awesome. Can't wait to see XO5.

Hey, BTW is XO4 officially supported on 16.04?

olivier

@BRRABill There is no "official" support anywhere else XOA. We don't have the resources to validate multiple distros. But because Xen Orchestra use a very small number of system dependencies, it should work everywhere. I just cannot guarantee this.

People on this community have installed XO into Ubuntu 16.04, yes.

Only XOA comes with support from @olivier. Everything else is "community"

The install script does work.

It's worth updating to the newest version of the install script though.

@xogurunoob Looks like it worked after you edited the hosts file, correct? What changes did you make there.

fatal: destination path 'xo-server' already exists and is not an empty directory.
fatal: destination path 'xo-web' already exists and is not an empty directory.

I wouldn't worry about that. The directory already existed and was populated during your first attempt.

sudo should be removed from the script. Your running it as root anyways, and it forces you to install sudo on a minimal Debian install.

@olivier New web interface isn't working on my iPhone

@aaronstuder That's a Safari issue. We opened an issue on GH.

Really, Safari is the new IE... https://nolanlawson.com/2015/06/30/safari-is-the-new-ie

Alex Sage

@olivier Thanks for the reply!

This may be more of a GitHUb question, but ... how do you know what the latest version is?

A thread on the XO forum said that version 5.0.2 was out. I updated, no problems.

Except xo-server is still on 5.0.0. I would think that was weird, but I know in 4.X that sometimes happened.

Anyway, how do I find out what the latest version is, so I know when to freak out and when not to freak out.

DustinB3403

@BRRABill You would watch the XO github site.

So, I am on that page, and not finding what I am looking for.

I see there are separate xo-server and xo-web pages.

But still not seeing how to tell what the latest version of each is.

I am sure it's not a XO issue, just my unfamiliarity with GitHub.
