Importing VMs from Aqemu (and perhaps Virtualbox)



Hello, I just discovered gnome-boxes and am quite impressed so far. However, I was wondering if I could get a 
bit of help importing my existing VMs from Aqemu and perhaps Virtualbox. The Aqemu images are still in 
home/.aqemu but libvirt does not see them when I type qemu://localhost into the URL field.

I am unable to start Aqemu since upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04. It is a known bug. I am also unable/unwilling to 
install Virtualbox, but I have backups of my images on an external drive if Boxes can use them.

I am able to wrestle my pre-existing VMs on to Boxes one at a time by creating a new VM, C/P my existing 
image over from home/.aqemu to home/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images, and then renaming the image file.

This gets tedious as I have a number of VMs, and I would appreciate any hints on what I might be doing wrong 
with my attempts at a mass import.



TIA
