So it is completing but failing to work after the install? My lab box is down at the moment and I don't have access to work on this until it is back up, but I'll look at that as soon as it is back online, which was supposed to be two days ago so hopefully soon (it is being racked in a colocation facility.)

See this thread where @olivier is already looking into a possible dependency issue with babel-runtime.

Also just read this issue over on Github.

I'm confused as to what you're attempting to install to here. Xen Orchestra doesn't get installed to XenServer. It gets installed to a Debian/Ubuntu Virtual Machine running on you XenServer host or pool.

Can you clarify what you're attempting to do?

Edit: Also I don't see any 'ERR' only 'WARN' which should still work. What version of NPM is installed on this host?

I meant xenserver7 because that is the hypervisor(xen)
yes i did install on a fresh install of debian jessie 8.4

I'm confused even more. XenServer 7 is a distro, not the hypervisor. Xen 4.4 is the hypervisor. You are just doing Xen on Debian? XO will not work with that. XO is for XenServer, not Xen on its own.

xogurunoob

Ok xen-orchestra is used to manage xenserver host right or wrong?
thats what am doing. Again this install is on debian 8.4, which was created from a xenserver host

yes xenserver is not the hypervisor, my comment above recognizes that as i mentioned "xen"

Yes, Xen Orchestra manages XenServer.

You are doing XenOrchestra on Debian on top of XenServer? Okay, that makes sense. We thought that you were saying that you installed Xen on Debian.

scottalanmiller

This has not been tested with Debian. Likely it will work once the known issues have been resolved. But thus far it has only been tested on Ubuntu 15.10. I plan to get it updated for 16.04 once my lab boxes are back online.

@scottalanmiller

I had it work fine on debian 8.4 when on xenserver dundee 6.6 beta3
and now after upgrade(fresh install) to xenserver 7, its no longer working, when i tried to install again on a fresh debian 8.4 install

scottalanmiller

Yes, right now, apparently, there is an issue with Xen Orchestra's installer that the XO team is working on.

xogurunoob

@scottalanmiller
oh i see
also was having different issues with inconsistency with the old one that was why i just upgraded to xenserver 7 and wanted to start from scratch

issues like i will be able to create vm from cloudinit images and then all of a sudden i can't anymore
so many inconsistencies. One time i will do something and another it wont work again

olivier

@scottalanmiller There is an issue while installing XO from the source, due to a breaking change in a dependency.

olivier

olivier
