machineglow Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Hey Guys, I'm trying to spin up some VMs I had running in VMware workstation 16.x and I'm following the steps here: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/69244-convert-vmware-vm-to-kvm/ but I seem to be getting an issue with starting my VM. The logs don't have any obvious errors and it just hangs on that spice-server bug line. I've tried using the vmdk file, the img file, switching bridges, and vdisk bus.... nothing seems to work. VNC windows says Quote Guest has not initialized the display (yet) Here's the log output: Quote -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=delay \ -no-hpet \ -no-shutdown \ -boot strict=on \ -device

redirected to /dev/pts/17 (label charserial0) qxl_send_events: spice-server bug: guest stopped, ignoring These VMs are an important part of my NAS migration so I'm kinda dismayed I've run into an issue here. Has anyone seen this before or know of a "better" way I should be converting/running a VMware VM to run on KVM? I tried spinning up a net new windows VM and it also ran into the same error. I don't think it has to do with the source vmdk or .img file but I could be wrong. Did I setup something wrong? I haven't touched any networking settings or anything like that. The only weird thing I'm doing is booting unraid as a virtualbox VM and mounting the drives as rawvmdks. Thanks! Edited December 15, 2022 by machineglow Quote Link to comment
Solution machineglow Posted December 16, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted December 16, 2022 Turns out the issue was the nested VMs. I booted direct into unraid and tried starting the VM and it booted! BUT I ran into another issue all together with the image not starting. Apparently, dietpi images do not like switching hardware and it was looking for a drive UUID that no longer existed and stopped booting. =( Quote Link to comment
