[SOLVED] How to install guest tools via apt?

[encryptblockr]

i tried to install guest tools via apt because it is easier when working with cloud images so we can install it in cloudinit

but when i did, it is showing older versions 7.20.2 from the installation output below

but when i check it in xen-orchestra the version showed is different and IP still not even showing

if i installed using the guest-tools iso the latest version 7.30.0-12 is installed
for XCP-ng version v8.2

so can someone please explain to me how we can install same version used with the guest tools iso 7.30.0-12?

so i imported a new VM and made sure i mounted the guest-tools iso to it before converting it to template

i just tried this and it worked!!!
