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

[Wesley Stewart]

Oddly enough, on Ubuntu 16.04 I had similar issues, but different outputs.
The "fix" for me was pretty much the same.  The oddest part was that apt
reported that python-ethtool was on version 0.11-3.  I removed it and
installed via a deb file anyways.

sudo apt-get remove python-ethool  *(even though reporting 0.11-3, this
also remove ovirt-guest-agent*)
wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/
python-ethtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent
sudo systemctl enable ovirt-guest-agent.service
sudo systemctl status ovirt-guest-agent.service (now reports as active
(running)!)
