First of all you have to shutdown VirtualBox machine that you wan’t to clone.
After that create new folder where you wan’t to clone existing vmdk machine to vdi
|
1 |
$ mkdir new_vm |
After that run this command in terminal:
|
1 |
$ VBoxManage clonehd --format VDI old_vm_machine.vmdk new_wm/new_vm_machine.vdi |
Wait until the job is done and… that’s all.
How to resize VirtualBox disk?
|
1 |

That’s all š

The solution for that was to install kernel-devel which solved the problem.
Today i have reinstalled my company workstation to Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. After that i have installed VirtualBox 4.2 and wanted to install extension pack from VirtualBox homepageĀ Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.16-86992.vbox-extpack. So I went to File->Preferences->Extensions and clicked Add package… and after that i have got error message like this:
|
1 2 3 |
ResultCode (RC): NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: ExtPackManager Interface: IExtPackManager {3295e6ce-b051-47b2-9514-2c588bfe7554} |
After googling the net i have found a solution for that which was:
|
1 |
$ sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.16-86992.vbox-extpack |
Closing the VB and starting it again solved the problem.
