Xencenter on GNU/Linux


In this publication will be present the steps to install Xencenter on Linux.
Software used:

  • Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (To see this use the comand lsb_release -a )
  • PlayOnLinux 4.2.10
  • XenCenter version 6.5 (build 6.5.2.2477) 32-bit

As may be seen the way to do it is by using playonlinux, for which the way to install it is:
sudo apt-get install playonlinux
Once installed playonlinux, select Install, Install a non-listed program, after this select Install a program in a new Virtual Drive. When you be asked What would you like to do before installation , select the three checkboxes.

When you be asked to configure a version of wine to use, you can choose 1.7.37 or 1.9.17 (Tested).
In the popped up windows for wine configuration check that the Windows version box is set on Windows XP.
Select a 32-bit installation.

In the component installation select the following components (They appear in that order):

  • POL_install_dotnet40
  • POL_Install_ie8
  • POL_Install_tahoma2

During the next steps, you will be asked to configure Internet explorer 8. Un-check the update option, and at the end select restart now.  If you are using the wine 1.9.17, during its setup, a newer version of IE will be installed so you would get the alert window that a newer version of IE was found. Still works with that.

After this just wait until the installation process is complete. Then, when you connect to your server, don't forget to put the port 80 (Or a port without SSL that you have configured for the connection) after the ip address or hostname of your server. i.e.: 192.168.1.2:80

 I took the main steps from this other publication, nonetheless, I had to publish a new one, because of some steps that weren't clear or out-dated.
