Error by converting qcow2 to vdi with qemu-img


I'm trying to convert .qcow2 to .vdi on my Ubuntu VM with a command qemu-img convert -f qcow2 qcow2_file_name.qcow2 -O vdi vdi_file_name.vdi

But I'm getting the following message: qemu-img: Could not open 'qcow2_file_name.qcow2': No such file or directory

The file is in a Downloads folder, and I tried to move it to Home, but it didn't help. Any ideas what could be wrong here?


Solution

  • The command must be like this: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vdi file.qcow2 file.vdi
