Hi Richard,
I am a user of LibguestFS.
I have a problem in using LibguestFS to get the OS type of the
virtual machine with Xenserver virtual environment.
But when I use the command in Linux likes the figure1. I know that
this disk file could add in libguestfish.
It looks OK, except that guestfish is printing a UTF-8 progress bar
which your terminal doesn't understand. guestfish uses the following
test to decide whether or not it can output a UTF-8 progress bar:
bar->utf8_mode = STREQ (nl_langinfo (CODESET), "UTF-8");
You can use 'guestfish --no-progress-bars' to disable progress bars.
My code is in the figure2. I can't get the OS info from GuestFs.
The code looks OK.
Could you give me some suggests?
It seems you might be using a vhd-format disk image. It seems most
likely that qemu is having some problems decoding this format.
After adding the disk (in guestfish) and using 'run', do general
commands like 'list-filesystems' or 'list-partitions' work?
If you add '-v' option, does qemu give any error messages?
If you convert the image to raw format, does it then work?
Rich.
