Bug#1115465: gnome-boxes: Failed to execute qemu-img convert

[Omar El Laden]

Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 48.0-3+b1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: omarzladen at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

After I use the option Install from File to select a .ova file,
the program creates a file /home/omar/.cache/gnome-boxes/<filename>.ova.vmdk,
and then it starts creating the image ~/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/boxes-unknown-17.
But after a short time I get the message:
Box import from file "/home/omar/.cache/gnome-boxes/<filename>.ova.vmdk" failed:Failed to execute qemu-img convert -O qcow2 ~/.cache/gnome-boxes/<filename>.ova.vmdk ~/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/boxes-unknown-17
and the boxes-unknown-17 file is removed.

However, if I manualy run the above command (qemu-img convert -O qcow2 ~/.cache/gnome-boxes/<filename>.ova.vmdk ~/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/boxes-unknown-17)
it successfuly converts the image file and then I can use it in Boxes.
