Hello
I installed ovftool on SLES 11 SP1 but when I try to use it....says Error: Locale Initialization Failed =(
I'm not sure.
Please tell me which version of ovftool you are using and run the command with "--X:logToConsole --X:logLevel=trivia" and post the log here.
Thanks,
Eske
ovftool 2.0.1
ovftool image.vmx /myvm/image.ovf
The log says....
error 'Locale'
No locale directories found in '/usr/bin/env/'
Error: Locale initialization failed
on what linux platform you you run this on?
SLES 11 SP1 X84_64
I'm also seeing the same issue. I'm running ovftool on Mac OSX hoping to convert an OVF to VMX.
I wish there was an easier way to convert VM types, and see little reason to have multiple formats.
But that's neither here nor there.
Thoughts on this error?
Cheers,
Dimitri
This should not happen if you use the Mac OS X installer. Have you used the installer for ovftool 2.1.0?
I think the reason for this is that the old 2.0.1 installer script contained some bug/errors/features. I have rewritten better and new
installers for all platforms in ovftool 2.1.0.
The reason for more formats is an old discussion I dont want to start here, I will just say that OVF is a distribution format where vmx is a runtime format.

I have just installed ovftool version 3.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). The package installed to /Applications/VMware\ OVF\ Tool, and I added this to my PATH.
Trying to run ovftool from my home directory gave me "Error: Locale initialization failed.".
I found this happened even if I ran ovftool with no arguments.
As a last resort, I changed my working directory to /Applications/VMware\ OVF\ Tool
Running ./ovftool there gave a reasonable error:
