[Users] ovirt-guest-agent on debian?
Hi Guys I was wondering wether anybody has the guest agent already working on debian guests. In m previous install I had a working setup but currently I only see Ubuntu packages. When using these ubuntu packages I really run quite fast into trouble due to the highly integrated nature of upstart in ubuntu. Has anybody got a suggestion for a debian package? Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi, well I can use the guest agent for ubuntu 12.04 (precise) really well on a debian 7 64 bit. I didn't encounter any issues so far. you just need to adjust the apt.sources.list HTH Am 31.03.2014 23:05, schrieb Boudewijn Ector:

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. After downloading and dpkg -i'ing it, I ran an apt-get -f install in order to get the dependencies. Then I reran dpkg: root@host:~# dpkg -i ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.9.20140216.git5168c4-1ppa1_all.deb (Reading database ... 42961 files and directories currently installed.)

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, Boudewijn

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
