Hi,

well I can use the guest agent for ubuntu 12.04 (precise) really well on a debian 7 64 bit.

I can confirm this - precise package works fine on Debian.

Hi Rene,Sven, ea,

How did you get it to actually work? I got the deb from (http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/o/ovirt-guest...) , since I'm not willing to add ubuntu sources to my apt-configuration since that might make me run into dependency troubles later on.

This one works fine with Debian:

https://launchpad.net/~zhshzhou/+archive/vdsm-ubuntu/+files/ovirt-guest-agen...

The version you try to use is for Ubuntu 13.10.

Regards, René

After downloading and dpkg -i'ing it, I ran an apt-get -f install in order to get the dependencies. Then I reran dpkg:

There's a configfile regarding initscripts in /etc/init, but no such thing on the sste, (I just had a look at the contents of the ubuntu package too). How did you resolve this? Creating my own initscript isn't that hard but it sucks when it comes to having a maintainable setup...

Cheers,

René, do you have a list of distro's / agent you work with?

I have the following guests: RHEL 6 - guest agent from EPEL CentOS 6 - guest agent from EPEL RHEL 5 - guest agent from RHEL repositories Fedora 20 - guest agent from Fedora repository Solaris 10 - no guest agent Solaris 11 - no guest agent Ubuntu 12.04 - guest agent from launchpad Debian 7 - guest agent from launchpad (Ubuntu Precise)

I don't have openSUSE running on my new setup anymore, but guest agent from build.opensuse.org did work fine. SLES 11 didn't work.

Regards, René

We may want to update the wiki with the list you have.

Thanks, Doron

Thanks. I'll make sure it's documented.
