(previously the package was called <code>qemu-img</code>) then do the conversion with
{{Command|qemu-img convert -f qcow2 vdisk.qcow2 -O vmdk vdisk.vmdk}}
{{Command|qemu-img convert -f qcow2 vdisk.qcow2 -O vmdk vdisk.vmdk}}
Then you can create a new virtual machine and attach the vmdk image to it (see [http://techathlon.com/how-to-run-a-vmdk-file-in-oracle-virtualbox/ how to run a vmdk file in virtualbox] for detailed instructions on this).
