Re: [Libguestfs] libguestfs can't communicate over network while creating VM

To workaround locally, on the host where you are running the libguestfs commands you can do: 1) install isc-dhcp-client 2) as root, `echo isc-dhcp-client > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zzz-dhcp` 3) as the user who runs your Python script, run libguestfs-test-tool to update the appliance -- you should see the line: supermin: build: visiting /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/guestfs/supermin.d/zzz-dhcp type uncompressed packages in its output -- meaning that file was picked correctly (and thus isc-dhcp-client hopefully copied) 4) now the network should work There is a Debian bug about it: https://bugs.debian.org/775514 -- fixed only in Stretch though. Just left a comment there, should be an easy fix for Jessie. Thanks, -- Pino Toscano
