I’m very grumpy because some spammers have been hacking this blog!  I’ve updated to the latest version of WordPress, and it still seems to be occuring, so if you see nasty stuff here, please notify me.  Thanks.

ubuntu gutsy on a xen virtual host

Published on February 4, 2008 in coding/software, geeky and solutions. 0 Comments

Hey googlers looking for tech-support:

I was trying to install various packages (emacs, etc) from universe on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10), and I kept getting weird segmentation faults (Setting up emacsen-common (1.4.17) Segmentation fault). Turns out that the problem was that my server was being hosted on a VPS running XEN for virtualization, and you have to first install libc6-xen: apt-get install libc6-xen

Hope this saves someone the half day that it cost me…
