Issues getting agent working on Ubuntu 17.04

I am having trouble getting the ovirt agent working on Ubuntu 17.04 (perhaps it just isnt there yet) Currently I have two test machines a 16.04 and a 17.04 ubuntu servers. *On the 17.04 server*: Currently isntalled: 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* Aug 08 15:31:50 ubuntu-template systemd[1]: Starting oVirt Guest Agent... Aug 08 15:31:50 ubuntu-template systemd[1]: Started oVirt Guest Agent. Aug 08 15:31:51 ubuntu-template python[1219]: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/python terminated Aug 08 15:31:51 ubuntu-template systemd[1]: ovirt-guest-agent.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=6/ABRT Aug 08 15:31:51 ubuntu-template systemd[1]: ovirt-guest-agent.service: Unit entered failed state. Aug 08 15:31:51 ubuntu-template systemd[1]: ovirt-guest-agent.service: Failed with result 'signal'. *sudo systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent.service* Also does not seem to do antyhing. Doing more research, I found: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-July/083071.html 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

It is a bug that is also present in 16.04. The log directory in /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent has the wrong user (or permission) It should have ovirtagent as user and group. /Johan On Tue, 2017-08-08 at 15:59 -0400, Wesley Stewart wrote:

Actually just got it working. 17.04 seems to have version .12-1 of python-ethtool. I simply removed it and the ovirt agent sudo apt-get remove python-ethtool And then I found the same version of python-ethtool on my 16.04 ubuntu server (0.11-3) and found a deb file for it: wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python- ethtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb and the reinstalled ovirt sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent The GUI is now giving me memory and CPU and indicating that everything is up to date!

Oddly enough, on Ubuntu 16.04 I had similar issues, but different outputs. The "fix" for me was pretty much the same. The oddest part was that apt reported that python-ethtool was on version 0.11-3. I removed it and installed via a deb file anyways. sudo apt-get remove python-ethool *(even though reporting 0.11-3, this also remove ovirt-guest-agent*) wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/ python-ethtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent sudo systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent.service sudo systemctl status ovirt-guest-agent.service (now reports as active (running)!)

sudo apt-get remove python-ethtool
And then I found the same version of python-ethtool on my 16.04 ubuntu server (0.11-3) and found a deb file for it:
wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-e thtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb
and the reinstalled ovirt sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent
The GUI is now giving me memory and CPU and indicating that everything is up to date!
