NVM, Fixed it.

• Changed to a more resent repo (https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=Virtualization&package=ovirt-guest-agent)
• Uninstalled and removed all files regarding ovirt agent
• Rebooted the machine
• Not sure if this was nessesary, but uncommented “device_prefix = /dev/virtio-ports/” in /etc/ovirt-guest-agent.conf
• Run: udevadm trigger --subsystem-match="virtio-ports"
• (re)start service
• Works! 😊

Subject: oVirt guest agent on OpenSUSE 42.3 Leap

Hi all

I have some trouble with guest agent for OpenSUSE 42.3 Leap, short version, it don’t start.

I have followed instructions that I could find about this error, but all I could find was for Debian 8 (http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-January/086102.html)

Still same problem.

Anyone who can help me get this right?
