We don't have the ESX driver enabled in Debian at the moment: configure:      Xen: yes configure:    Proxy: no configure:     QEMU: yes configure:      UML: yes configure:   OpenVZ: yes configure:     VBox: yes configure:      LXC: yes configure:     PHYP: no configure:      ONE: no configure:      ESX: no configure:     Test: yes configure:   Remote: yes configure:  Network: yes configure: Libvirtd: yes configure:    netcf: no configure:  macvtap: no Since Ubuntu basically uses the Debian packges they don't have this enabled either. The current diff against Debian is at: http://patches.ubuntu.com/libv/libvirt/libvirt_0.7.5-5ubuntu12.patch which  hasn't any ./configure changes except for apparmor support so I doubt this can work at all on Ubuntu. Dimitris, you should file an Ubuntu Bug. Matthias, I'd be more than happy to enable ESX support in Debian but I don't have any means of testing it. Cheers,  -- Guido
