Chrisbey — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 09:10:36 GMT

I downloaded the Ubuntu install from My HPE Software Center. I have installed it and running the set up commands from root...

apt update

apt upgrade

apt install linux-generic-hwe-24.04 this is where I have an issue,..

Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-generic-hwe-24.04

Please help if you can, thank you

You should be using this ISO image to deploy the host: HVM_Install_24.04_S5Q83-11031.iso (SHA256 Checksum: 86bf8e9836605d1713704028b51d633436208ef4bcdcbb0a5e7cee33dfc774c8)

It includes everythign necessary except the hpe-vm-essentials-8.0.8-1.qcow2.gz, which you can get in this ISO image: HPE_VM_Essentials_SW_image_8.0.8_S5Q83-11019.iso (SHA256 Checksum: 0166924d8b9500759b17f1cbbbbde638f3220018502b8a056657128c11e1d3f8)

Bart has published a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDTMiD8KLxo) on the exact steps to take to deploy. Follow his steps and do not change anything else during the setup process, and you **should** be successful.

Oh - do not update / upgrade the Ubuntu installation after deploying the host (with apt update, apt upgrade) from HVM_Install_24.04_S5Q83-11031.iso.
