I don't see the screenshot here but...
Telling from the file name, this vmdk file should be in fact a "raw"
disk and the conversion shouldn't be a problem (you can use `xxd -l 512
Neustar-flat.vmdk` to see if it's simply an MBR, or containing "KDMV"
magic in the first bytes).
It might be the guest OS driver or configuration that don't
automatically work on kvm. How did you export this vmdk from ESX, what's
the guest OS, and what's your command line to boot it?
