I've tried to install cloudmin GPL on a Ubuntu 12.04 system. after a while the script informs me that I need to choose an architecture
Reading state information... Done Package xen-hypervisor is a virtual package provided by: xen-hypervisor-4.1-i386 4.1.2-2ubuntu2.5 xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 4.1.2-2ubuntu2.5 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package 'xen-hypervisor' has no installation candidate .. install failed
I don't see how to specify i386, do I pass a parameter to the script?

Howdy,
Hmm, it normally doesn't offer to install both, only one repo should be showing up.
What output does "uname -a" show?

Howdy,
Hmm... well, the problem seems to be that apt is confused about what architecture it should be using.
By default, it normally uses the architecture defined by the distro installer when installing Ubuntu... but it looks like that's not the case in your setup there. It's possible that was changed afterwards.
I don't immediately see anything out of the ordinary in your uname output.
Another thing that can affect that is the apt config... try running this command, what does this output:
find /etc/apt | xargs grep -i APT::Architecture
no output.
Then I tried this:
which ran ok, then rebooted and reran the install with this output:
Hrm, that's pretty unusual!
You may need to review your various apt settings and sources in /etc/apt/ in order to figure out why it's trying to install both i386 and amd64 architectures.
It should only be seeing one of those architectures, not both, so it sounds like something is configured in a way that has it looking at both repositories.
Is this by chance a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 install?
And is it on a dedicated server, and installed by yourself? Or is it running on a VPS, where the OS image may have been provided by your provider?

it is a real piece of hardware in my office. It's my sandbox; I need to get up to speed on cloudmin for a work purpose and don't want to experiment in a live setting. The unit has Ubuntu 12.04 in consequence of upgrades from 10.04 about six weeks ago - I went in two steps, went pretty smoothly; I guess it's possible the upgrade may have left some confusion. And yes I installed it. I'll check in the apt repolist and see what I can see and let you know.

which looks OK to me, All references seem to be to 12.04 and I don't see any architecture-specific stuff

Hey, midal!
I've experienced the same problem. Try to change the version of xen-hypervisor in the install script.
sudo nano cloudmin-gpl-debian-install.sh
then change string "xen-hypervisor-4.0-$arch" to "xen-hypervisor-4.1-$arch"
This is happening because of a difference in packages of linux distributions. It would be nice if it had a script for x86 or i386 and x86_64 or amd64, where each person could choose according to the version of your system. Managed to install changing the correct packets according to the version of my dist, more at system startup consists amd64 too. Has a way to manually install Cloudmin GPL Install for Xen?
