The problem here is that the string being passed should be a list, ie: g.command(["ls /"]) However the error message is pretty obscure. It should either silently convert the string to a single element list, or else give a proper error message. Correction, that should be: g.command( ["ls", "/"] ) This should be fixed[1] by the following cset: http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=227b1eea90713d190a9cf5463af106af0b4eee2c [1] ie. the error message, you still have to pass an array, not a string. libguestfs-1.0.51-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.51-1.fc11 libguestfs-1.0.54-2.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.54-2.fc11 libguestfs-1.0.55-1.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.55-1.fc11 libguestfs-1.0.58-2.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/libguestfs-1.0.58-2.fc11 libguestfs-1.0.54-2.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository.
