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? -

You could not import the .ova itself?No errors out as well. What Virtual Machine software are you using?

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 ;)
