 The "Desktop" and "Alternate" distributions of Ubuntu boot into X11/Gnome. In order to access the Gnome session from XenCenter (rather than the CLI console) you need to enable VNC on Ubuntu and setup gdm to call vnc on display 0.
 ''NOTE:'' Most tutorials involving gdm/VNC involve setting up xinetd, but if you have any packages that require openbsd-inetd (like LTSP) then you cannot install xinetd.  [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=569451 Here] is a link for running vnc as a service from openbsd-inetd.

		+	== Installing XS-Tools ==
		+	The trick to installing XS-Tools on an Ubuntu based VM is to install the the BASH Shell, and reconfigure DASH.
		+	sudo apt-get install bash
		+	Bash was most likely already installed.<br>
		+	Now reconfigure DASH so that its not the default shell.<br>
		+	''When asked if you want to install DASH as /bin/sh choose '''NO''' ''
		+	sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
		+
		+	Now that DASH is not the default shell, you can install XS-Tools from the iso.<br>
		+	In XenCenter Mount the xs-tools.iso as the VM's local DVD-Rom.<br>
		+	Mount the DVD in the Guest VM
		+	sudo mount /dev/xvdd /mnt
		+	now install according to your architecture (Though I've only been able to get this to work on amd64 VM's)
		+	sudo dpkg -i /mnt/Linux/xe-guest-utilities_5.5.0-466_amd64.deb
		+	You now have to make the ''xe-linux-distribution'' service run at the correct run level.
		+	sudo update-rc.d -f xe-linux-distribution remove
		+	sudo update-rc.d xe-linux-distribution defaults
		+
		+	You can now reboot or run
		+	sudo /etc/init.d/xe-linux-distribution start
		+
		+	XS-Tools should now be installed and running.
