Hey,

this bug has been reported upstream, but it takes a log time for them to fix (PR already merged). So I was thinking that I would share it here:

I have only used the guest tools for basic features, reading RAM and ip adresses mostly.
I have no experience with the container managemant feature, so i can't tell if/how it should work.
I would recomend to try:

• installing the xentools directly from the guest-tools iso,
• installing directly from upstream,
• and trying some other distribution, just to make sure the container thing works at all.

I it still doesn't work you should open an issue upstream

Hello

The xscontainer-prepare-vm is unable to to refresh/read the state of the Arch Linux VM :

xscontainer-prepare-vm -v f4a038a8-e258-8649-b9db-91dec3ebe368 -u ron Would you like to push a pool-specific public SSH key into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file of the specified VM and therefore authorize hosts in the pool to interact with the containers inside the VM? Answer y/n: y

Attempting to push the public xscontainer key to ron@192.168.50.22. ron@192.168.50.22's password: Success.

Attempting to refresh the state of the VM Failure diagnosis: Unable to determine cause of failure. Do you wish to retry? Answer y/n: y

The xe-guest-utilities-xcp-ng installed successfully.

I do not know if it is a issue with Arch Linux not being fully supported to manage Docker containers, or if I am missing packages or need to edit files to get things working.

Thanks

Thank you very much. It did install this time without any problems.

@kaptain it should work again.

The problem was that something changed between the last to go versions, and upstream hasn't yet adopted all of that.

Hello.

I have attempted to install this package with yay and manually on my xcp-ng server setup, and both result in the same error :

/home/leo/.cache/yay/xe-guest-utilities-git/src/xe-guest-utilities/build/gobuild/./xenstoreclient/xenstore.go mkdir -p /home/leo/.cache/yay/xe-guest-utilities-git/src/xe-guest-utilities/build/obj

Could you please provide me with further assistance?

Thanks.

I have corrected some mistakes made while originally packaging this.

For more context: This is the XCP-NG fork of https://github.com/xenserver/xe-guest-utilities It is mostly similar, but with added emphasis on compatability with xcp-ng.

It is not that far from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xe-guest-utilities-git/ except for being from a different fork
