Switching From VMWare To VirtualBox: .vmdk To .vdi Using Qemu + VdiTool
This tech tip describes how to switch to VirtualBox if you already have a VMWare virtual machine that you use by showing how to convert a VMWare virtual machine into one that will work on VirtualBox.
Hi
Problem changed.
I've got a message showing on the screen which says
Guest has not initialized the display (yet)
Any how I can fix this?

Heyas
So, i like doing custom a LiveImage of my OS.
Using Redhats kickstart/livecd-creator method.
Anyway, so i would like to test the liveimages...

SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT(1) systemd-detect-virt SYSTEMD-DETECT-VIRT(1)NAME
systemd-detect-virt - Detect execution in a virtualized environment
SYNOPSIS
systemd-detect-virt [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-detect-virt detects execution in a virtualized environment. It identifies the virtualization technology and can distinguish full
machine virtualization from container virtualization. systemd-detect-virt exits with a return value of 0 (success) if a virtualization
technology is detected, and non-zero (error) otherwise. By default, any type of virtualization is detected, and the options --container and
--vm can be used to limit what types of virtualization are detected.
When executed without --quiet will print a short identifier for the detected virtualization technology. The following technologies are
currently identified:
Table 1. Known virtualization technologies (both VM, i.e. full hardware virtualization, and container, i.e. shared kernel virtualization)

If multiple virtualization solutions are used, only the "innermost" is detected and identified. That means if both machine and container
virtualization are used in conjunction, only the latter will be identified (unless --vm is passed).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-c, --container
Only detects container virtualization (i.e. shared kernel virtualization).
-v, --vm
Only detects hardware virtualization).
-r, --chroot
Detect whether invoked in a chroot(2) environment. In this mode, no output is written, but the return value indicates whether the
process was invoked in a chroot() environment or not.
--private-users
Detect whether invoked in a user namespace. In this mode, no output is written, but the return value indicates whether the process was
invoked inside of a user namespace or not. See user_namespaces(7) for more information.
-q, --quiet
Suppress output of the virtualization technology identifier.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
If a virtualization technology is detected, 0 is returned, a non-zero code otherwise.
