0810 64 bit support

[jeangot]

Hello,

I am currently running LMCE 0710 on a xen virtual machine. In order for PCI passthrough to work under xen, I need to run the VM as a PV, which means that I need to use 64 bits because my host is 64 bits.

Now my question: is there any way to install the current LMCE 0810 onto a 64 bit Kubuntu? What would happen for example if would install a brand new Kubuntu system with 64 bits, then install the LMCE packages onto it?
Alternatively, are there any plans to make a 64 bit version of LMCE 0810 available?

Thank you!

Jean

You should install only 32bit Kubuntu in order to use LinuxMCE. And as I know it won't be 64bit version of LinuxMCE because 64bit doesn't give any advantage for LinuxMCE users comparing with man-hours to build, test and maintain 64bit packages.

Compile from source, see the developer section. This will take you about 5-10 hours to just to start the prepare section, before you even start compiling.

You can use a 32bit OS on a 64bit XEN host without any issues.
