We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

  • stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
  • Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
  • pygrub has been removed
  • optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

The "firefox" issue is actually a kernel issue - changes were made to how NUMA pages are handled, which causes random crashs within dom0 and/or PV domU's (HVM domUs are not affected) I've been tracking the fix and its been included in the 3.14 RC's as well as the latest 3.13.5 (which you can download from the testing repository.) I have a copy of the patch if you want to recompile your own older kernel (Patch is also available on the xen-devel list archives)

@discord, @hugleo: I too have been having the issues with firefox. I'm still running xen 4.3.1, but building 4.3.2 right now to test. Anything after kernel 3.12.6 causes random crashes quickly after starting firefox. After a crash, X is frozen but I can still connect with ssh. No amount of killing or restarting programs will bring it back though. I can see numerous stack traces in dmesg about "bad page map in process firefox". Sometimes "bad page state" instead. Starting firefox in safe mode works, so I deleted and resynced my profile then started re-enabling addons one by one, but I can't seem to isolate the problem so I've also switched to Chrome for now. At first I though it was graphics related, but the crash still happens if I start firefox over ssh X forwarding to another machine. Doesn't seem to be hardware related either since I've recently switched motherboard and gpu (from using nouveau to radeonsi). Let us know here if anyone has any luck with this problem, I'm quite partial to Firefox. I'll post my results of testing 4.3.2 soon.

4.3.2-1 has just been uploaded after build-testing on a couple of boxes. Apart from the version bump, this build attempts to download several of the source tarballs ahead of time - this means that we can ensure they are not corrupted/changed before they are used during compile.

Just wanted to give a heads up on my thoughts; With upcoming releases of xen 4.3.2 and 4.4.0 coming soon, what I may do is rename this package to 'xen-4.3' and then update the PKGBUILD to 4.4.0 and release that as xen.

hugleo commented on 2014-01-27 18:42 (UTC)

Crashed again, a little more stable however.

hugleo commented on 2014-01-27 15:09 (UTC)

I think the upgrade do the trick. discord, try to upgrade your system.

hugleo commented on 2014-01-27 11:18 (UTC)

I've experienced that problem too. Everytime I open firefox browser I notice cpu racing and I must restart my system due a unresponsive system. I'm using chrome browser for now. That problem comes about tree weeks ago after a bunches of arch updates. Today I'll upgrade to the new kernel linux-3.12.9-1 and I'll let you know if that solve the problem.
