Expect new stable releases of libguestfs, guestfs-tools, virt-v2v in January
by Richard W.M. Jones
I just released fresh development versions of libguestfs,
guestfs-tools, and virt-v2v (https://download.libguestfs.org/).
Despite being development versions these contain some important fixes,
especially affecting OCaml 5, and they should be stable enough for
production use.
Since we haven't done a stable release of these packages since
February 2023, I will do new stable releases in January. In the
meantime please test the new development packages and let me know if
there are any bugs.
Rich.

virt-builder debian-12 --update failure
by Stefan Hajnoczi
Hi,
virt-builder --update debian-12 fails with:
Setting up grub-pc (2.06-13+deb12u1) ...
grub-pc: Running grub-install ...
/dev/vda does not exist, so cannot grub-install to it!
You must correct your GRUB install devices before proceeding:
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog dpkg --configure grub-pc
dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error processing package grub-pc (--configure):
installed grub-pc package post-installation script subprocess
returned error exit status 1
Any idea why /dev/vda isn't available to grub-install in virt-builder?
I guess there might be some special guest device configuration for the
guestfs appliance that runs virt-builder steps, causing the device to
appear as something other than /dev/vda.
If I omit --update on the virt-builder command-line and run
"dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" inside the guest after importing with
virt-install then it succeeds and /dev/vda exists.
Thanks,
Stefan

virt-builder debian-12 network interface naming issues
by Stefan Hajnoczi
Hi,
The debian-12 template has the network interface name "ens2" in
/etc/network/interfaces. After importing the disk image with
virt-install I get "ens3" inside the guest. This probably happens
because the libvirt domain XML is slightly different from the one that
the template was generated with and the virtio-net device has a
different PCI bus address. Networking does not come up after boot.
One possible fix when generating the template:
# cat >/etc/systemd/network/dhcp.network
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
# systemctl enable systemd-networkd
# mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.save
See https://wiki.debian.org/SystemdNetworkd and
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html#_the_mod....
This way the image would DHCP any "ens*" network interface.
I'm not sure how to best translate this into a patch, but I hope this
information is useful.
Having networking out-of-the-box would be nice!
Thanks,
Stefan
