When attempting to create a XEN driven virtual machine on my dedicated server this morning I stumbled accross the following error:

Networking Information
----------------------
IP Address 1   : 192.168.1.200 [MAC: 00:16:3E:21:97:56]

Error:  No recognised installation type.

Logfile produced at:
         /var/log/xen-tools/test.my.flat.log
Assertion that either --dir, --lvm, or --dir are given failed.
This is probably a bug, please report it. at /usr/bin/xen-create-image line 4383.
END failed--call queue aborted at /usr/bin/xen-create-image line 990.

Well it was annyoing because I already used to create virtual machines yesterday. Luckily I found a solution for this issue quickly. Simply edit /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf and uncomment dir = /home/xen .

For now it works again flawlessly.
