#7126 closed defect (fixed)
Import Appliance option seems to ignore OSType="Fedora" -> Fixed in SVN
| Reported by: | David J. Malan | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | OVF | Version: | VirtualBox 3.2.6 |
| Keywords: | OSType Fedora | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | Linux | Host type: | Mac OS X |
Description
If you export an appliance that was configured as running "Fedora" (not 64-bit) and then import it (after deleting the virtual media from the original), the import process seems to ignore the OVF file's mention of OSType="Fedora", instead defaulting to "Linux 2.6". Result is that import process seems not to take into account OS-specific defaults (e.g., video memory).

Replying to Technologov:
AFAIK Fedora is not included in OVF specification, so it resets to "Linux".

Thanks for the follow-up. Quite fair, but OSType="Fedora" appears to be an attribute of an element in the vbox: namespace (and not in the OVF envelope itself), in which case I assume it's there precisely so that VirtualBox can infer OS type?

Should be fixed by the next major version. You have to export the VM again to make it work.
