Set up Libvirt 0.8.1 & Xen 4.0.1 Dom0 (2.6.32.15 pvops) on top of Ubuntu 10.04 Server via Daniel Baumann Virtualization PPA

Add two lines to /etc/apt/sources list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/dnjl/virtualization/ubuntu lucid main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/dnjl/virtualization/ubuntu lucid main
Running “add-apt-repository ppa:/gwibber-daily/ppa” didn’t work for me due to “apt-get update” complaining absence key with different value, that’s why i imported requested key via command bellow and succeeded with “apt-get update”

Hmm, title refers to Xen 4.0.1, virsh version refers to 4.0.0, what is the correct version? Or, does Daniel has the 4.0.1 version in the repo or the 4.0.0 one? Tks!
