Re: [Libguestfs] libguestfs can't communicate over network while creating VM
Hello Richard,
I tried what you have adviced (however zzz-dhcp should be replaced by something else or is
that right?) and still nothing changes. Btw dhcpcd should be running on the background or
is it fine to have just installed (I tried running script with both options - same result
unfortunately). Thanks again.

Hello guys,
we use libguests for dynamic creation of our VM and we do various modifications of those
VMs in the process. One with I am struggling with is to signing keys of our custom
repository - "
vm.sh("wget -O - " + key_address + " | apt-key add -")" where
"vm" is a GuestFS object. So I have set "vm.set_network(True)" and I
have installed "dhcpcd5" package
(that's whats on Debian Jessie) on both Host OS with KVM running and VM template
(because we always copy Debian template we have in order to create new VM). However
according to the log libvirt is still complaining that dhcpcd is missing (line 371 in the
log). I ran dhcpcd command on both machines and I've even restarted networking service
- unfortunately nothing helps. So I'd like to ask you for help or at least any hints.
Thanks a lot.

P.S. I already wrote to the #libvirt channel on IRC but nobody replied so I am trying my
luck here :)
Most likely dhcpcd is not being copied into the appliance.
Try doing:
echo dhcpcd > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zzz-dhcp
