Hello, I am trying to run guestfish on Ubuntu Natty, but although I followed the README and tried the kernel permissions workaround from here ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/759725 ), I am still having problems when running libguestfs-test-tool as root (see attached). Am I doing something wrong? Thank you, Vangelis -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

Am I doing something wrong?[...]> insmod: execl: Permission deniedI thought I'd fixed this one ... Anyhow it appears to be this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666880 A simple fix is: chmod +x /sbin/insmod.static rm -rf {/tmp,/var/tmp}/.guestfs-* Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
