Unable to locate package proxmox-ve New Installation

[Phillip Ankerson]

I'm setting up a new install on a debian jessie and have run into this.

I'm running as su. The command is

apt-get install proxmox-ve

Your sources.list suggest that you've installed i386, which is not supported.

Could you please post the output of

dpkg --print-architecture

You are correct - the output is i386.

So if I've installed the wrong debian version, what should I install instead?

 

[LnxBil]

The amd64 version. The version is not easily updateable, so you have to reinstall everything.

Why don't you use the official installer?

 

[Phillip Ankerson]

I was experimenting with installing proxmox on top of a Debian Jessie. But now that I've run into this I'll probably just install ProxMox outright. Am I ok to install ProxMox VE 4.2 from DVD (burned from iso image)?

 

[LnxBil]

Yes, burning to optical media is the way to go if you do not have ilo/idrac/irmc/... or a CD/DVD emulating usb stick/usb disk drive. I personally have never burned a proxmox install media.

 

[Phillip Ankerson]

I've burned the installer ISO to a DVD for the version I mentioned above, so I'll give that another shot. Thank you for the guidance!
