ubuntu systemd

[Kevin Fox]

When the guest is Ubuntu 15.04, the guest agent fails to function properly. Its trying to detect upstart by looking for the '/etc/init/trove-guest-agent.conf' file to exist, which it does on 15.04, but 'start' and 'stop' are not installed on the system by default.

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/trove/guestagent/common/operating_system.py contains the check.

root@kfox-testdb:~# ls -l /etc/init/trove-guestagent.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 922 May 13 19:13 /etc/init/trove-guestagent.conf

root@kfox-testdb:~# start
The program 'start' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install upstart

As a workaround:

sed -i 's@/etc/init/%s.conf@/etc/init/%s.conf.disabled@;s@/etc/init.d/%s@/etc/init.d/%s.disabled@' /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/trove/guestagent/common/operating_system.py

And a restart, and it started working fine.

Thanks,
Kevin

This fix is not going to make it in time for the Liberty RC1 cut.

any word on this?

Not only service scripts, trove-integration doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04.
There are several problems to build guest-image in xenial.
How should we fix the problem?

Nikhil: If you are not working on this, can I re-assign this?
