Problem with COMPASS virtual machine
Dear Viet Yen, all, we have tried to open the latest COMPASS virtual machine with VMWare player (we have version 6 installed). When trying to import from .ova format, either nothing happens, or the following window pops up: and then, after cliking 'retry': Can you give some advice about how to run the virtual machine? Do we need to install any additional packages (ovf tool)? Did you succeed in unpacking it on your side?

Hello Marco, I created and ran the images with VirtualBox (which is a free download). Specification-wise, they should work on VMWare, but I haven't tested that. I'll look into it. Viet Yen On 15 okt. 2013, at 15:51, Marco Bozzano <bozzano@fbk.eu> wrote:

Ok, thanks for looking into this. I think it would be nice if the VM we distribute is compatible with VMWare as well, because we have a user base using it (e.g., Regis). Besides, the COMPASS website speaks about a VMWare image. Marco

Hi Viet Yen, some more info. Gianni (in cc:) had ovf tools installed. He gets the following error, by the running the command fro the terminal: Opening OVA source: compass-vm-2.3.ova Opening VMX target: VM/ Error: OVF Package is not supported by target: - Line 37: Unsupported hardware family 'virtualbox-2.2'. Completed with errors In fact, the VM machine has the following characteristics, according to ovftool: OVF version: 1.0 VirtualApp: false Name: COMPASS Toolset Version: 2.3 Vendor: COMPASS Consortium Product URL: compass.informatik.rwth-aachen.de Vendor URL: compass.informatik.rwth-aachen.de Annotation: For official distribution.

Dear Marco, Harold and I have been trying to reproduce the issue with VMWare Player in Windows (we don't have a Linux machine at hand here). After getting the OVF spec. conformance check, and then clicking retry to relax them, it works for us. Let us first check whether your download is correct: could you compute a md5sum of the ova? It should be b33d7cb5c3b524469d7b94565c2ba2b1 Viet Yen On 15 okt. 2013, at 15:51, Marco Bozzano <bozzano@fbk.eu> wrote:

Hi Viet Yen, the md5sum is correct. In fact, I tried on my laptopunder Windows, and it worked for me as well. Under Linux, in my case it seems that VMWare crashes when I try to import the VM. In Gianni's case, you have seen the screenshots. I have the same version (6.0.0, same build) on both Windows and Linux. Marco On 10/16/2013 12:48 PM, Viet Yen Nguyen wrote:

Hello Marco, OK. Well since it should also work on Linux, I'll have to investigate whether I can make a better OVA image. I'll try to acquire a Linux machine here soon so I can experiment with it. In the mean time, if Gianni finds other indications that might help solve the problem, please feel free to notify me on this. Viet Yen On 16 okt. 2013, at 13:40, Marco Bozzano <bozzano@fbk.eu> wrote:

Hello Viet Yen, OK. In the meanwhile, I have copied the imported virtual machine from Windows to Linux, and I am able to run it, now. Marco On 10/16/2013 01:45 PM, Viet Yen Nguyen wrote:
