CoreOS/Fedora Guest Tool Not working

enes.selcuk

Hello,

I installed the rpm package in the guest tool .iso file, but it does not work on startup. It gives failed error. I would like your help on how to install it.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS release 4.14

sudo rpm -i xe-guest-utilities-7.20.0-9.x86_64.rpm
error: can't create transaction lock on /usr/share/rpm/.rpm.lock (Read-only file system)

@enes-selcuk can you not use your package manager to install the tools directly?

yum install xe-guest-utilities-latest

The service is not enabled by default, so enable it and start it:

systemctl enable xe-linux-distribution
systemctl start xe-linux-distribution

I did the following but the problem persists.

sudo mount -o ro /dev/sr0 /mnt
sudo rpm-ostree install /mnt/Linux/*.x86_64.rpm
sudo cp -f /mnt/Linux/xen-vcpu-hotplug.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo cp -f /mnt/Linux/xe-linux-distribution.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo sed 's/share\/oem\/xs/sbin/g' -i /etc/systemd/system/xe-linux-distribution.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/xe-linux-distribution.service
sudo umount /mnt
sudo systemctl reboot
