Hmmm. On my machine kvm-img returns 'command not found' and I've been unable to find a package that includes it. I did find this on the internet earlier today qemu-img convert -c -p -O qcow2 vmname.vmdk vmname.qcow2 but after I had run it, the VM refused to start. I have now discovered that the QT qemu launcher (aqemu), also allows for importing VMWare images and so I am running it now. I'll report on the results later (or tonight at the pub) since I'm going out shortly. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-05-03 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
