I have a virtual machine I want to copy to another machine. The original
is on my 18.04 Xubuntu machine (ENU-2) and I want to copy it to my
Ubuntu 20.04 machine (ENU-1). VirtualBox on ENU-2 is version 6.1.16
r140961(Qt5.6.5) Copyright 2020 Oracle Corporation and/or its affiliates.
And VirtualBox on ENU-1 is 6.1.16_Ubuntu r140961
(c) 2004-2021 Oracle Corporation (Qt5.12.8)
Following the directions at:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/588426/how-to-export-and-import-virtualbox-vm-images
I select the VM to export in the export appliance and click next. The
next screen does not match what I have. It does ask me to select the
format, set to Open Virtualization Format 1.0, and also lets me enter
the output file path and name. Mine also offers to set a MAC Address
Policy, with "Include only NAT network adapter MAC addresses" set. The
other options are "Strip all network adapter MAC addresses" or "Include
all network adapter MAC addresses". I leave that set to the only NAT
choice. There is an checked box on the instructions page that says
"Write Manifest file". I leave that checked. My page has that, and
another box called "Include ISO image files" which I leave unchecked.
When I click Next I get a VirtualBox Error:
--------------------------------------
Failed to prepare the export of the appliance .
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004)
--------------------------------------
I searched with DDG. All references to that error are from many years ago.
Any ideas what to look for here?
Thanks.
