August 25, 2025Aug 25 I have an Ubuntu VM that's been running solid for a long time. The other day, I needed to pass a new USB capture device from the host, so I modified the VM settings to set the checkbox for that device. At first it complained about a v2 or v3 compatibility issue, so I moved the device to a non-blue (presumable, 2.0 slot), and tried again.Long story short, after a couple of host and VM reboots to make sure everything was stable, the VM now boots in to the UFEI shell, and I can't figure out how to get past that.Appreciate any recovery advice you can offer.I have backups of the VM image and FD file if it comes to that, created by a community script signed by jtok. I've never restored from that backup, so that will be another investigation. lolLarryUpdate: I was able to create a new (blank) VM, then paste in the xml from the backup, copy the backed-up vdisk over to the standard location, copy the fd file to the standard location, modify the xml to point to those new files, and then boot up!Larry Edited August 26, 2025Aug 26 by kennelm updated with solution
