[Cinque Port Computers <jackdtrice@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nio,


I found the problem; I use the 'fish' shell and it didn't like the format of the xzcat command you made, (which I'll look into later).


I switched to 'bash' and the xzcat command worked fine.


Cheers,

JackT.

Hi Nio,


I tried xzcat and xz in a terminal, all on one line, but it kept failing with that error msg and the original file was left with 0 bytes.  So that was odd I thought.  Btw, my host OS is Arch/LXDE.


I've got round that by opening the .vdi.xz file in my file manager and successfully extracted the .vdi file that way.


Thanks for your help.  I've now got it up and running in my VB.

JackT.

Hi Jack,

You were probably tricked by the email client, that made two lines of
the one-line command:

just to illustrate:

xzcat file.vdi.xz > file.vdi

So if you use the following as one line, it should work.

xzcat dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi.xz >
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

-o-

Or am I misunderstanding? Do you mean that VirtualBox does not recognize
the extracted vdi file?

After extraction md5sum should show

$ md5sum dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
ac4cd66df2fe8ccd7cd0f495c0bdea9f  dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

and ls -l shows

$ ls -l dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nio nio 2006974464 nov 25 11:40
dd_ToriOS-Trusty-Test-01_7.8GB.vdi

(approx. 2 GB, so I prefer to distribute it compressed).

It works with my VirtualBox (in Lubuntu Xenial). Please tell if you are
still having problems.

Best regards
Nio
