Is it possible to put lm_sensors on XenServer?

Question

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

I wanted to collect data on the state of the equipment, especially the temperature on a server running Citrix XenServer. Yes, it is not recommended to put anything in dom0, but there is no other way out.

[[email protected] ~]#  yum install lm_sensors

[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: citrix

Somewhere on reddit I found a hint on how to modify the team. Did not help:

[[email protected] ~]# yum --enablerepo=base --disablerepo=citrix install lm_sensors

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

The problem seems to be that the package needs a very specific version of glibc-common, while the following version of the package is installed on the system:

I even tried installing gcc to compile from source. So he also needs the same version of glibc.
Is there any way out?

Answer 1

Doesn't it bother you that XenServer is 64-bit, and he is trying to install a 32-bit library? Specify the specific bit depth of the package.

Answer 2

update xen server to latest version first

Answer 3

I have a similar problem with XenServer 6.5 (all updates are up to XS65ESP1041) but only with gcc, I can't install it, yum install --enablerepo=base gcc swears at

I installed XEN on another computer and that's what I managed to find out, before installing the XS65E003 update, everything was fine and gcc itself updates the dependencies it needs (glibc-common), but what to do if the updates are already installed?
