I got that converted to the .vmdk, but not sure how to translate that into a running VM. VirtualBox says it can't recognize that type of disk. Jonpoz or mudmanc4 can you expand a bit on your instructions for getting this working please? Thanks..
Im using VirtualBox 5.0.2 running a Ubuntu 16 VM, on MacOS 10.11.5

pretty sure virtualbox just lets you import a ova.

Virtual disk space issue?
So your running Virtualbox on OS X, where Ubuntu is a guest, then trying to import a 1.6GB image into Ubuntu? Correct me? -

So your running Virtualbox on OS X, where Ubuntu is a guest, then trying to import a 1.6GB image into Ubuntu? Correct me?Not sure exactly what you mean by "import a 1.6GB image into Ubuntu". I downloaded the .ova in my Ubuntu guest so I could convert to the .vmdk. From there I copied the .vmdk to OS X and tried to create a new VM guest based on Linux with 2 processors, 16gb ram, and the .vmdk as the virtual hard disk. When selecting the .vmdk as the virtual hard disk is when I get the error.

Gotcha now.
You could not import the .ova itself? -

Maybe it's corrupt in some way. I would just grab a new copy.

What version of Linux is the ova/vdmk based on? Maybe I was using the wrong type..
I believe it is Ubuntu 14

Hmm, since Splunk has a native OS X version I think I will start exploring that.

why are you going through all the extraction nonsense - pretty sure virtualbox should just import that ova as an appliance. When I get home from this road trip I will give it a go.

Yes I see that now. I'll try that when I get home. I was trying to use it as a virtual hard disk, way over thinking it..

And that over thinking part we are all susceptible to.

Ok true - but I mentioned back couple of days ago that can just import the ova into virtualbox ;)

…and there it goes. Up and running, thanks all. Now I just need to learn how to use it ;)
