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?

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 Guys > > > I was wondering wether anybody has the guest agent already working on > debian guests.

I got the deb from (http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/o/ovirt-gu...) , 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...

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