[ovirt-users] ovirt 4.1 : Can't install guest tools for Zentyal 5.0 (based on ubuntu 16.04 xenial)

[Tomáš Golembiovský]

Hi,

I just tried that with development version of Zentyal and it works for
me. Well, there are some caveats, see below.

Could you be more specific? What was the problem? Was it problem with
python-apt per-se or with ovirt-guest-agent using python-apt?

I've noticed that the ovirt-guest-agent package available in the
repository mentioned on the oVirt site is missing dependency on
qemu-guest-agent. You have to install it additionally for oVirt to work
properly.

If you, however, instal the ovirt-guest-agent from official Ubuntu
repository there is different issue. There is this unresolved bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ovirt-guest-agent/+bug/1609130

You have to fix permissions on /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent as mentioned
in the bug report.

Did you run 'apt-get update' to synchronize the repository content?
