Documentation incorrectly stating xe-guest-utilities not being packages in Ubuntu anymore #238

Closed XSpielinbox closed 1 year ago

XSpielinbox commented 1 year ago

At https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-org/blob/master/docs/guests.md#ubuntu it is written that the xe-guest-utilities have not been packaged since Ubuntu 20.04. This is not true anymore. They are available in Ubuntu 22.04 and newer versions. I have checked that on my own VMs. A good overview is also provided at repology.org. I am unsure how it has been for Ubuntu 20.10 to 21.10 - as these are not supported anymore, I would say, that it would not matter if they haven't been available in these releases.

Thanks for the notice. I see it's in universe now, not in main anymore. Does this mean you need to enable repositories before installing? (in which case the installation instructions also need updating).

XSpielinbox commented 1 year ago

The universe repository is enabled by default on all installations, one could manually disable it afterwards though. But however does that should in my opinion know that and it's implications as a lot of software isn't available then anymore.

Solved in https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-org/pull/239. Thank you.
