Has anyone actually gotten this to work on Fedora 12? I ran the convert and have tried every single option imaginable to qemu-kvm to get it to boot the image but no luck. I get the "A disk read error occurred" message every time it goes to boot. Also tried booting the vmdk directly (same error), running windows recovery and running fixboot and fixmbr (same error), etc.I've spent most of the day on this off and on and feel like I'm running out of options. Are there some debugging tools I can use to give me some more direction?
I am trying to convert my VirtualBox hard drives (.vdi) to VMware Workstation format (.vmdk). I found this link [URL] but cannot find the path for qemu-img. I downloaded Qemu Manager v7.0 from [URL]. Please disregard. I found it. C:Program Files (x86)QemuManagerqemuqemu-img
I have a large qcow2 formatted disk image, which I use as storage. Often I need to move data to and from this disk image. I mount the disk using the qemu-nbd tool as follows:
modprobe nbd max_part=63 qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 /host/disk100G.img mount /dev/nbd0p1 /home/rup/disk
But disk access fails every now and then in the midst of some I/O operation with an "Input/output error". At that point I have to manually unmount the disk and re-mount it so that I can run the program again:qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0umount joborkhaki/What could be the reason for this? Is there a better tool that I can use to maintain a qcow2 disk image?
I just tried to create a qemu qcow2 image with encryption: Code: qemu-img create -e -f qcow2 foo.qcow2 100G Formatting 'foo.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=107374182400 encryption=on cluster_size=0 It's some time ago I played with qemu, but I think it's supposed to ask for a password.
If I start the image with Code: qemu foo.qcow2 it just says 'QEMU [Stopped]' in the popup terminal window. It starts normally without the encryption option on qemu-img.
Is encryption known to be broken? Is this perhaps specific to qemu with KVM patch or to the 64-bit version? Ubuntu 9.10 qemu-kvm 0.11.0-0ubuntu6.3 Linux wallace 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have set up a virtual machine under VMware Player 3.1.2 in Debian. Operating system of this virtual machine is a Windows Server 2003. I would like to periodically test this Windows Server 2003 installation for viruses. Obvious solution would be to install an AV software under this Windows Server 2003 installation. However, I was wondering, is this possible to use NOD32 for Linux or clamav in order to test this Windows Server 2003 installation for viruses? Is NOD32 for Linux able to detect viruses inside the .vmdk file?
I'm trying to set up a virtual machine environment in Centos5.5. My hardware fully supports virtualization, and I'm running qemu as the hypervisor with Virtual Machine Manager as the GUI to manage and create VMs. Host hardware is a Dell PowerEdge T710, with a quad core Xenon processor and four 1TB disks in a raid 6 array.
Within the Virtual Machine Manager when trying to create a new VM, there is the option to not "allocate entire virtual disk now". What format is created when you "allocate entire virtual disk now" and when you don't?
I want to create a qcow2 image format, but it doesn't look like it is supported. Does anybody know how to create a VM with a qcow2 image format?
When you create a blank disk with "qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.qcow2 3700G", it indeed does create a qcow2 image. However, Virtual Machine Manager is unable to read these images, claiming that it is 15 megs or so in size (which is what it actually occupies in host disk space until you try and put a VM into it).
is there a way to write/unpack .qcow2 hard disk image directly to real hard drive in Linux?(I know it's possible to unpack .qcow2 to .raw and then dd to drive, but I'd like to skip .raw since its large)
ATM I'm trying to use mencoder and am not impressed with it telling me it can't find the file I'm trying to convert. Especially when it WAS perfectly able to fid the file before my computer had an unfortunate crash, which didn't even affect the file in question.
I've got a batch of MOV format videos, I want to convert them to the MP4 format (I've heard these two are similar, and MP4 is more plain form of MOV?). Can I do this in Fedora? I've also heard that converting from MOV is generally difficult.
I am building my first rpm package and I cannot seem to find out how to change an existing .tgz to a .tar.gz as required by the rpm .spec file - I've attempted to search on this, but I can't find the exact command I'm looking for. Specifically, I hope to avoid having to untar the .tgz and simply convert it to the .tar.gz format.
I have custom hardware running on a PCI backplane with an SBC running Fedora 5. This has been running in a factory environment for years. Unfortunately, the SBC has been EOL, so I must convert to a new SBC running Fedora 14. The driver for this hardware was also custom, and I have been able to get it to compile and load on the new system. It links to the new hardware, and sees the bars as described by the firmware on the board. Unfortunately, I can't seem to configure the driver for writes/reads. I can read the read/write parameters from the driver (the default values from initialization), so I can access the driver, but whenever I try to write to the next_read or next_write parameters file, nothing happens. The file remains unchanged. The permissions are correct for the parameters file, but I'm wondering if there is some kind of access problem because I seem to have to be SU for many operations that I didn't have to be in Fedora 5 (like build the driver). My experience with Fedora 14 is very limited. Any ideas with what might have changed from Fedora 5 to Fedora 14 .
Trying to convert a midi file I created in Rosegarden into a wav file using Sound Converter. Snd Cnvrtr wants to load some gstreamer "bad" plugins, but they end up conflicting with "good" plugins and "ugly' plugins that had been loaded in the kernel (I think). Thought I might remove gstreamer and load up the "bad" plugins, but that meant removing a huge chunk of programming including Snd Cnvrtr. Anyone got any idea how I might do the conversion apart from Snd Cnvrtr? Either that or how I might get hold of the appropriate plugins to allow the midi to wav conversion to take place?
Got this compact video camera for Christmas have tried Handbrake, Pitivi, avidemux tried both versions, kino nothing works to date and can't find a way to change the camera settings.
I have been searching for a while for a program to convert .flac files I rip off of cd's with my laptop (running Fedora 11) to a usable iTunes format for my desktop (running Win XP). The cd drive on my desktop is currently broken, so my fix of ripping on my desktop, then using Rhythmbox on my laptop is temporarily unavailable. Any suggestions? I've tried audiokonverter, soundconverter, audio-convert-mod and each come up with errors or wouldn't install.
I've been a Linux user for 5 years, though this I only recently started using RPM based distros. I'm still in my first week using Fedora and I love it. Hats off to the development team. Now, onto my question:
I have a rather large collection of music in three different formats: MP3, OGG, and FLAC. I'd like to shrink my library by converting all the flac files to ogg. However, since I don't want to convert from lossy to lossy, I'm going to leave the mp3s alone. Is there a program that will allow me to do this quickly and easily? I'd prefer a GUI, though I'm comfortable working with the terminal if needed.
Then I convert the / partition filesystem by the following steps:login as root user in multi user mode read [url], and execute tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 modify /etc/fstab, change the type of / to ext4
reboot (because fsck say running it on a mounted filesystem can cause filesystem damage, so i decide to reboot to single user mode first. maybe it's a mistake here) try to boot F11 to single user mode, failed
reboot from a SystemRescueCD-1.2.0 LiveCD run e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 in SystemRescueCD-1.2.0 LiveCD, no error reported
reboot try to boot F11 normally(multi user mode), but it failed at: EXT3-fs: dm-0: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (40).
I tried rescue mode of Fedora-11-i386-netinst.iso after these steps above. The / partition can be found and mounted to /mnt/sysimage correctly. I can read/write files in / partition, and i can even yum new softwares in rescue mode, but it just can't be mounted when booting.
I use a commercial finite element code to produce animated GIF files of my calculation results. In case you are interested, the code is COMSOL Multiphysics 4.0a, running on Fedora 13 x86_64. Note that the FEA code only has the option of saving movies as animated GIF files in Linux.
These GIF files tend to be quite large, and although they are adequate for my own use on my local computer system, I wish to convert these files into other standard formats of more manageable size. These smaller files would then be easier to distribute to others or to include in presentations and reports.
I would like to ask for recommendations for either GUI-based video player/conversion applications or command line codes that could, for example, convert from animated GIF files to MPEG files. I would prefer an application that allows for multiple input/output format choices as well as conversion options for changing the playback speed, splicing out a portion of the original animation, etc.
I try to convert a doc file to a pdf file with the linux bash. I tried different ways like jodconverter, ghostscript, postscript and so on, but all didn't work as espected. Additionally I can say that I have only the bash.
I'm trying to put a background on a DVD through DeVeDe, Image i want to use is jpg and it only accepts png, I do prefer to work from terminal i can learn and become more comfortable with it, But a GUI would be good too
I have been looking everywhere and even tried writing this shell script my self but almost blew up my computer ahahah I suck and i'd seriously appreciate some help here so can sombody please convert this .bat into a .sh Here it is:
@echo off Title Client START java -Xmx512m Gui 30 0 lowmem members 32 exit
I was looking for something to convert my old WMA music files (left over from before I switched to Linux permanently) to a Linux format. After posting a question about it, I found a program called dir2ogg in my apt repositories. It works smoothly; you use it by typing dir2ogg [filename] in a terminal window.
