Re: [Libguestfs] Invalid module format errors, supermin waits forever for /sys/block/sdb/dev to appear

The error with networking is going to come down to how qemu is invoked by libguestfs. Are you using the default ('direct') backend on both Fedora & Ubuntu? Try doing: guestfish get-backend or this command if libguestfs is not installed: ./run guestfish get-backend Next do this command, all on one line: guestfish -v -x --network -a /dev/null run : debug sh 'exec 3<> /dev/tcp/google.com/80 ; echo -e "GET /\n" >&3 ; cat <&3' # http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/more-using-bashs-built-devtcp-file-tcpip You'll have to look for the qemu command line in the debug output. Both the command line parameters related to the network, and the version of qemu are of interest. Also note that `ping' is not expected to work inside the guest, when using the direct backend as non-root.
