I am having trouble getting the ovirt agent working on Ubuntu 17.04 (perhaps it just isnt there yet)

ovirt-guest-agent (1.0.12.2.dfsg-2), and service --status-all reveals a few virtualization agents:

 [ - ]  open-vm-tools

 [ - ]  ovirt-guest-agent

 [ + ]  qemu-guest-agent

I can't seem to start ovirt-guest-agent

sudo service ovirt-guest-agent start/restart does nothing

Running  sudo systemctl status ovirt-guest-agent.service

Also does not seem to do antyhing.

Doing more research, I found:

So perhaps the ovirt-guest-agent is broken for Ubuntu 17.04?

On the 16.04 Server I have:

Took some fiddling, but I eventually got it working
