[Users] Ubuntu/Debian ovirt-guest-agent
Hello Zhou Zheng Sheng, I tested your ovirt-guest-agent PPA which you provided and it works on Ubuntu Precise (12.04) as expected, but I can not install it on Debian Wheezy because that package needs upstart-job from Ubuntu which is not in Debian... Would you be so kind and provide even Debian packages on your PPA? :-) I dont know if sysvinit style file for launching daemon is included by oVirt. Thank you. Jakub Bittner
Hi Jakub, No problem. I'll try to write SysV init script for it. I'm not sure Ubuntu PPA can build and host Debian packages. Once it's over (ready or fail) I'll inform you. on 2013/09/10 21:52, Jakub Bittner wrote:

Could you please rebuild the ubuntu package from the current master? We've merged the solution of the broken master yesterday. It'd be great. Thanks.

Two good news. Developers fixed the bug in latest master, so I updated the ovirt-guest-agent package for Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring) to 1.0.8. This package should be OK to use with 12.04 (Precise) as well. I also wrote a Debian specific SysV init script for the guest agent.I tested in my Debian Wheezy guest. There is a small problem, luanchpad.net does not support hosting Debian packages, and for each package per Ubuntu release, it hosts the latest version. So I upload the Debian specific oVirt guest agent package as a Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) package. You can dowanlod them from the following link. https://launchpad.net/~zhshzhou/+archive/vdsm-ubuntu/+packages In all, the ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.8 (Raring) package is for both Ubuntu Raring and Precise. The ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.8 (Precise) is for Debian. -- Thanks and best regards! Zhou Zheng Sheng / 周征晟 E-mail: zhshzhou@linux.vnet.ibm.com Telephone: 86-10-82454397

Great work - thanks a lot for the Debian and Ubuntu packages! Just one little thing: Can you add python-apt to the dependency list (it's missing in the Debian Wheezy package - didn't test the Ubuntu packages but maybe it's missing there, too)? If python-apt isn't installed it's not possible to fetch installed packages: MainThread::INFO::2013-09-16 15:23:22,977::ovirt-guest-agent::37::root::Starting oVirt guest agent MainThread::INFO::2013-09-16 15:23:23,015::GuestAgentLinux2::101::root::Unknown package management. Application list report is disable GuestAgentLinux2.py requires this python module to get the package information. All other features like system shutdown, nic information, memory,... are working fine. Regards, René
Hi René, You are correct. I add python-apt as a recommend dependency package and upload the package again for Ubuntu and Debian. I didn't notice the problem because I have other packages in my test machine which depend on python-apt. Thanks. on 2013/09/16 21:37, René Koch (ovido) wrote:

No problem. Btw, are you (or anyone else) working on getting the guest agent into official Debian/Ubuntu repositories? Your packages are working really well, so it should be not to hard to get them into official repos...

Hi, The next step is to get instructions on installing oVirt (node & engine) on Ubuntu and Debian hosts. Ideally, I would like to be able to use oVirt all in one on an Ubuntu 13.04 install or on Debian Testing. Anyone care to take this on? Thanks, Dave. On 09/16/2013 06:42 PM, Jakub Bittner wrote:
