Hi all;


I installed the following today :

qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install bridge-utils  virt-manager libvirt-devel 
virt-top libguestfs-tools guestfs-tools


I followed this guide to install virt-manager and a bridged network.


I used virt-v2v to convert a VMware image :

# virt-v2v -i vmx /data/vmware/Fedora35-Wynnbet/Fedora35-Wynnbet.vmx  -o 
local -of qcow2 -os /data/kvm/Imported/Fedora35-Wynnbet


Then I edited the resulting xml file 
(/data/kvm/Imported/Fedora35-Wynnbet/Fedora35-Wynnbet.xml)

and I commented out the network interface (the VMware one):

         <!-- <interface type='network'> -->
       <!-- <source network='ethernet0'/> -->
       <!-- <model type='virtio'/> -->
       <!-- <mac address='00:0C:29:0B:53:5E'/> -->
     <!-- </interface> -->



Next I added the new vm to virt-manager:

# virsh define /data/kvm/Imported/Fedora35-Wynnbet/Fedora35-Wynnbet.xml


It worked, I started the vm from virt-manager, logged in and used 
virt-manager to create a new interface.


Now I have 2 issues:


1) I cannot get it to resize the VM with the window, the *View -> Scale 
Display -> Auto Resize VM with Window *option is greyed out


2) the VMware vm was setup with a PPTP based VPN, but in the converted 
kvm / virt-mananger vm the vpn will not connect, it simply says an error 
occurred.


Thanks in advance
