Description
Hello, I've got following problem - when I'm trying to clone vdi using command:
VBoxManage clonevdi Windows_XP.vdi Windows_XP_clone.vdi
I got error:
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 1.5.0 (C) 2005-2007 innotek GmbH All rights reserved. [!] FAILED calling hardDisk->CloneToImage(Bstr(argv[1]), vdiOut.asOutParam(), progress.asOutParam()) at line 2407! [!] Primary RC = 0x80004004 [!] Full error info present: false, basic error info present: false
I tried to specified full paths (in apostrophes too) in command but it also doesn't work and produces the same error.
My host system is Arch Linux, kernel 2.6.22

To JemUbuntu: What are the permissions of the file /root/.VirtualBox/VDI/Xubuntu.vdi?

Replying to frank:
To JemUbuntu: What are the permissions of the file /root/.VirtualBox/VDI/Xubuntu.vdi?
well, I have no such files under /root/.VirtualBox but 2 things :
1) under /root/.VirtualBox I have 3 files (2 .dat and VirtualBox.xml) 2) under /home/jemubuntu/.VirtualBox/VDI I have Xubuntu.vdi with the permissions -rw------- 1, owner being jemubuntu
I suppose you are refering to the last file ?

No, I refer to exactly the file I was asking. You started sudo VBoxManage clonevdi. sudo changes the environment variable USER to root, therefore the search path for your VDIs is /root/.VirtualBox/VDI. Why did you use
sudo VBoxManage
and not just
VBoxManage
?

...well...good question... why the hell this "sudo" ???
I've just tried
VBoxManage
and it works ...
I'm very sorry, I thought I'd tried it before using the sudo, but it turns out that I just skipped it...
However, thanks a lot.
I cannot close this ticket because I'm not the originator ...

Also having the problems reported by proktor. Not using sudo here. Using 1.5.2 binaries on Arch Linux.

I hoped the "Linux host: script fixes for ArchLinux" from the 1.5.4 Changelog would have fixed it, but I'm here to report that it hasn't. Same error, still looks to be a SIGSEGV. Can run debug commands if you tell me what you need to get this fixed.

With Ubuntu 7.10 as a host, I have the same (I believe) error :
