Hi,
I just did some additional research, here are my results:
on a clean debian 7 x64 VM inside oVirt:
I did as root: apt-get install python-software-properties add-apt-repository -y ppa:zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu
vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zhshzhou-vdsm-ubuntu-wheezy.list
change the following lines from:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu wheezy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu wheezy main
to:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu precise main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu precise main
then:
apt-get update apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent
You get an error:
Setting up ovirt-guest-agent (1.0.8.201309301944.gitb7f8f2-1ppa1) ... chown: cannot access `/var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log': No such file or directory
but it works:
ls -lashi /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log 533212 4.0K -rw-r--r-- 1 ovirtagent ovirtagent 208 Mar 10 10:20 /var/log/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent.log
service ovirt-guest-agent status [ ok ] ovirt-guest-agent is running.
IP information shows up in ovirt.
it would be cool if the folder "precise" on the ppa could be cloned to be a folder "wheezy".
So you would not need to change the apt-sources entries.
I don't know why this chown error occurs, but it seems to work!

Cool thanks for checking. Zhou Zheng Sheng: Could you please do that on PPA? Of course only if this is possible somehow. Thanks :)

I think the chown error occurs because the first time the chown is executed the file does not exist but then the guest agent starts and it does exist since it creates the file due to the logging. But I am not 100% certain about that.
Well I did find an error:
During system boot you get an error message:
dbus unknown username "gdm" in message bus configuration files
This error is caused by this conf file: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials.conf
Is it save to remove the following part from the config file?
<policy user="gdm"> <allow send_destination="org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials" send_interface="org.ovirt.vdsm.Credentials" /> </policy>
If yes it would be cool if the ubuntu packages could get rebuild, because I guess you will encounter the same problem there.

I think we won't have to install this file at all, since we don't have a working Single Sign On feature on Debian and Ubuntu at the moment. So I guess dropping this file should solve this.
