Using virt-install to install Ubuntu Server 18.04 but hangs


The host machine is a Ubuntu Server 19.10 with no GUI. I've installed KVM and try to install a Ubuntu Server 18.04 virtual machine using the command

sudo virt-install \
    --name demo1 \
    --os-variant=ubuntu18.04 \
    --ram=4096 \
    --vcpus=8 \
    --network bridge=br0 \
    --graphics none \
    --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/demo1.img,bus=virtio,size=16 \
    --location /home/ubuntu/virtualization/ubuntu-18.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso \
    --extra-args console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial

However, it hangs indefinitely. It first prompted (too much information, I cut part of it due to character limit):

Then it stops responding. Is there anyway to install this virtual machine under command line with text UI?


Solution

  • With this set of command line args, virt-install has connected your local terminal to the guest serial port console and is printing any information that displays.

    Thus you've seen the guest kernel boot messages first, which at least shows the serial console is working.

    The problem you're facing is that the Ubuntu server media you are trying to install from is not using the serial console. The CD ISO name suggests that this is a "live CD" media, and its quite possible that this doesn't support text mode installs, or at least might need some extra kernel args to tell it to use console. So I'd suggest looking at what other installation media Ubuntu provide to see if one other choice is more likely to support text mode installs. Staying away from "live media" is probably a good bet.
