Re: [libvirt-users] A problem with converting an OVA appliance

Hi all, I've been having a problem when trying to convert an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) format appliance to the "virt-image" format. This is how I try to convert the appliance: $ virt-convert --arch=i686 -i ovf appliance.ova The result is: ERROR Couldn't import file "appliance.ova": must be string without null bytes or None, not str This happens on a Debian Wheezy (7.8) machine. virt-convert is at version 0.600.1. All libvirt* packages are at version 1.2.9. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone else through web searches having the same issue and then applying their solution. It'd be great if someone can help with trying to figure out what is going on here...
