I am trying to convert a qcow2 to vmdk that works with ESXi Server 6.5.
I used the image converter tool qemu with the following command:
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vmdk -o subformat=streamOptimized img.qcow2 img2.vmdk
This command gives me a vmdk image which is thick provisioned. Can someone help in generating a vmdk image which is thin provisioned.

I have installed genymotion so as usual it's two icons created on my desktop one generation and other it's shell.
Now I want to configure/run in virtual box.
I have started virtual box click on new and set the requirements as linux and version=linux 2.x/3.x/4.x (64).
And configured the storage. But when I started it by click on start it ask me to choose a file for it but it not showing me the genymotion file instead it is just showing me genemotion folder.
My problem is how to add genymotion like how I added other os
Are you trying to run Genymotion in a virtual machine? If so, it will not work: Genymotion needs direct access to your host machine hardware.

This is the Win10 built-in Camera application.
We usually can run a normal Windows applicaion via command like
notepad
calc
in cmd or powerShell.
For the camera APP, I inspected the process via spy++
The process is ApplicationFrameHost.exe and with -Embedding parameter.
However, I run this command in PowerShell and turned out not work.
ApplicationFrameHost -Embedding
How do I run the Win10 camera APP via command line? Or I use C++, which function can achieve that?
Type follwing command in cmd.

I'm using Stata on a remote desktop that doesn't have access to the Internet, and need to install a package. I want to download it to my hard-drive and manually install it while on the remote desktop, but I don't know where to download packages online. Any help is appreciated.
If you search google for ssc package_name usually a link for ideas.repec.org will come up and you can download all of the files manually from there.
(Estout example: https://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s439301.html).
You will have to put these files in a directory that Stata looks for ado files in, you can find these directories using the command sysdir. I would recommend saving them to the personal folder.
Assuming that the question means that you wish to transfer commands available on the SSC from a machine with the internet to a machine without the internet, you could:
1: Copy the file from SSC using the ssc copy command on the PC connected to the internet. See the last example here:
ssc copy whitetst.ado
2: Load the resulting .ado file into your remote desktop (see here for info on where Stata will look for .ado files).

One of my Virtualbox VMs was running low on space so I decided to go and resize its hard drive.
The VM used a VMDK file, which I couldn't resize through VBox so I had to clone it first.
So I cloned the file to a VDI one, resized that one, booted on a gParted iso to resize the partition and booted the OS fine. That given I deleted the original VMDK (facepalm).
Now I started using my VM a bit more and noticed files and folders are not in the state I left them when I shut down the machine, but in a state they were several weeks ago.
I suppose something went wront because I had made a snapshot of that VM and was working on that snapshot, which didn't write to the HDD VMDK. I have one snapshot's file, a VMDK in my Snapshot folder.
So here are my questions :
- What happened exactly ?
- Does that snapshot VMDK still contain my up to date file or did I lose my work ?
- If the data is still there, how can I recover it ?
(Btw I'm runnning on a SSD drive so I don't think it's worth talking about recovering the deleted VMDK file.)
Okay it seems I was able to recover a file I wanted by using The Sleuth Kit on the snapshot VMDK.
So if anyone wonders, TSK tools can load a VMDK image using the -i afflib switch.

With virtualbox (On windows 7 host), how can I list all the snapshots of a VM?
Ideally, there will be one line per snapshot, and each snapshot will have the name and the UUID.
Use this
vboxmanage snapshot VM_NAME list
You can also specify the output format by including the option --machinereadable
All commands of vboxmanage can be found by
vboxmanage --help
This is not the best answer I want, but vboxmanage showvminfo VMNAME will list the snapshots at the end of it's output.
I think that's the right answer. If you want to filter the ouput from showvminfo, you'll need to do it from the shell via command line
