virtualbox.org

So I want to compact my VDI and I typed this:

cd 'my VDI directory'
VboxManage modifyvdi myfile.vdi compact

And I get this:

bash: VboxManage: command not found

Anybody know why this thing is crapping out? This will give me like 7GB of free space and I really want it.

I even reinstalled the whole VirtualBox program, kernel and all recompiled and everything.

Any ideas?

The commands are case sensitive. You must type VBoxManage.

If that still doesn't work, then (depending on your distro, they may be in different spots), but make sure you have:

/usr/bin/VBoxManage
/usr/bin/VBox
/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxManage

If you can't find them, you could try

locate -i VBoxManage

A more suitable thread title would have been:

can't seem to locate VBoxManage

The distro would be useful too.
