Public bug reported: System: Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS Alpha 2 installed within Citrix XenServer 7.0.
Installed Citrix' 'guest-tools', confirmed on status page as having v7.0 tools working. Ran 'apt update', 'apt dist-upgrade' and was offered 'xe-guest- utilities' as one of the many packages being installed. Cancelled the upgrade to 'apt show' that package and found it to be v7.4. Happy that it was a newer version, started the upgrade && rebooted. Upon booting, the status page revealed v6.6 was installed, surely a backwards step and in spite of v7.4 having just been installed! I then checked with Citrix and they're only up to XenServer 7.3! All being said and done, the client tools allow interaction (ie, XenCenter initiated clean shutdown and reboot* requests, virtual drivers for Net and Blk front devices detected). However, the versioning seems awry. Is having v6.6 on v7.0 going to have an impact on performance, say for example, by using outdated APIs? Looking forward to clarification on the subject. Modiford, Ubuntu and XenServer fanboi :-) * except for the 'Soft Lock CPU' bug documented here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1730717 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1750366 Title: Strange versioning in 18.04 Bionic Beaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1750366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
