      I've done initial testing on Suse SLES/OpenSuse 15.4, 15.5 and the similar opensuse MicroOS 5.5

      Installs, runs, reports correct information and stats so far. Basic commands work as expected.

              People with FreeBSD 13.2 or later as a guest are also now able to use Netlink to get their IP address changes reported instantly (rather than having to wait for as much as 1 minute).

              This is however not yet part of our CI jobs, as we rely on cross-rs, which for now only provides FreeBSD 12 cross-build support. Your choices to try it:

              • build it yourself
              • manually-prebuilt binary

              Don't forget to kldload netlink first, the Netlink support is not active by default!

                At blog you forgot the name of tools to install 😃 https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2023/12/15/rust-guest-tools-0-3-0/

                  Fixed the blog post. Don't know for Ubuntu, only tested on Debian on my side (even Debian 11). It seems you have a 401 HTTP code on your side. Gitlab issue or network issue?

                      Yeah, I would say Gitlab access issue, for whatever reason 🤷 Wait a bit a retry later. We'll probably mirror it to provide a more available solution that Gitlab.

                          Here I have a good HTTP answer (200):

                            @olivierlambert same, 200. Probably it again cloudflare issues.

                                If installing on a machine that already had the old guest tools, is it necessary to uninstall them first (I would imagine so). How do you uninstall old guest tools?

                                  @chrisfonte new tools will remove the old one during install.

                                    Worked well for me with apt on virtualized Pop!_OS.

                                        I also encountered this same issue with this on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. Upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and re-enabling the repository resolved the issue.

                                          Well it still don't work for ubuntu20.
                                          Also i can't create Nexus proxy repo even for 22, with same error.
                                          Looks like restrictions for some auth type. Because the repo is not accessible by direct link, i can't really check anything. Any ideas?

                                            I bet on a Gitlab hosting weird issue or something. You can download the package directly from here: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/releases

                                            In your case: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/5762006911/artifacts/raw/target/release/xen-guest-agent_0.3.0_amd64.deb?inline=false
