Actually just got it working. 17.04 seems to have version .12-1 of python-ethtool. I simply removed it and the ovirt agent
sudo apt-get remove python-ethtool And then I found the same version of python-ethtool on my 16.04 ubuntu server (0.11-3) and found a deb file for it: wget http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python- ethtool/python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb dpkg -i python-ethtool_0.11-3_amd64.deb and the reinstalled ovirt sudo apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent The GUI is now giving me memory and CPU and indicating that everything is up to date!
