Comment on Migrate VMWare Linux Virtual Machine to Virtualbox – Convert VMware .VMX to .OVF (Open Virtual Format) by admin.

There is one more advantage of using Virtualbox, my USB HP Mouse does not hang occasionally as it used to hang while using VMWare. Thanks to Virtualbox 🙂

Migrate VMWare Linux Virtual Machine to Virtualbox – Convert VMware .VMX to .OVF (Open Virtual Format)
After converting to VirtualBox and importing whether you get an error:

Failed to open session for the virtual machine vm

VT-x is disabled in the BIOS (VERR_VMX_MSR_VMXON_DISABLED)

You will need to enter BIOS on boot time with DEL button / F2 / F10 etc.
 

in BIOS inside the Virtualization tab enable the Virtualization technique

restart your PC and you will have your Virtual Box up and running.

Cheers 🙂

       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
