I have been asked to do some debugging work with gnome-continuous, but as this only comes in qcow2 format for qemu and I do not want to install qemu at this time so this may be slightly problematic, though I have read here that one may be able to use qemu-img to convert a qcow2 image to a Virtual Box compatible one.Create a VM with libvirt-manager with a qcow or img disk image Install Ubuntu Minimal Check if the system boots

(Interestingly qcow2 to raw to VDI dosen't.) Just to confirm what I did. I've tested using the command I used in conversion from from qcow2 to VDI and and from a raw file to a VDI it works.We doing a Ubuntu Server install and so everything is console based and there is no GUI. The install image ISO will appear as a CD drive to the virtual machine and will automatically launch the installer.

$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 hda.qcow2 16G Boot the virtual machine and run the Ubuntu installer.

Save, then run virsh define ubuntu.xml followed. Modify the following elements in the ubuntu.xml file to match your your VM preferences and file paths.

mkdir ~/vms & cd ~/vms qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu.qcow2 50g Download the Ubuntu Server 20.04 Install Image and my libvirt XML template and place the.

The process is straight-forward $ sudo qemu-img convert -p -i DiskImage.img -O vmdk DiskImage.vmdk

In order to convert the existing disk images to VMware’s vmdk format you should you use the program qemu-img from the package qemu-utils (in Ubuntu).
