This usually means the libguestfs appliance failed to start or crashed. Do: export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 and run the command again. For further information, read: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs You can also run 'libguestfs-test-tool' and post the *complete* output into a bug report or message to the libguestfs mailing list. If reporting bugs, run virt-customize with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-customize -v -x [...] Thank you, Helen Le Robotics Engineering & Computer Science Worcester Polytechnic Institute '23 hyle(a)wpi.edu | 2067340015 [cid:30c91dd4-2f61-4c32-ac4a-347c7640394b]
