Hi all,
I am running ROS Fuerte on a Virtual Machine(VM) (Ubuntu 12.04). Is it possible to clone the ROS to another physical PC running the same Ubuntu (12.04).
Tried to clone the whole VM as physical machine but failed.
Need guidance. TQ
You do not know if this is the best way, but it should work:
You can convert the virtual hdd to a standard image and then mount it.
VBoxManage clonehd --format RAW ubuntu.vdi ubuntu.img
Then you could mount the new physical hdd, too. Next step is to make a copy:
sudo cp -avxT /mnt/old /mnt/new
Other ways to copy: http://linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/mini/Hard...
Then you need to correct the entries in fstab and repair grub. I know a good Tutorial, but it is in germen. But the command are still correct: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_um...

you mean get out the partition of the VM and set it up in a physical pc ?
Yes, exactly. Is it possible?
You can trick your VM by using G4L and get back the partition you need. Check that it's compatible with your PC hard drive and that should be good.
It means, i should clone the ROS partition in VM and restore it in my new pc?
that will do the trick: made an image of your partition or disk and copy it on your target drive
