[ovirt-users] Issues getting agent working on Ubuntu 17.04

[Wesley Stewart]

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!
