I am new to this list and hope it's the right place to address my issue. I also do not have much insight in libvirt/qemu yet
host OS is ubuntu-server 1404. What I am trying to achieve is installing an ubunt1604 server on to an existing (qemu-img create) qcow2 image file with the following command ...
sudo virt-install --name myVM --ram 512 \
--disk path=/path/to/image.qcow2 \
--location /path/to/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64.iso
... and then access the machine (through my hosts terminal).
the command above results into
Starting install... Retrieving file version.info...
| 116 B 00:00 ... Retrieving file linux...
| 13 MB 00:00 ... Retrieving file initrd.gz...
| 72 MB 00:00 ... Creating domain...
| 0 B 00:01 Connected to domain myVM Escape character is ^]
after that, nothing.Not having ^ on my keyboard I don't get to escape from this
When I check on another console window (virsh list --all) in my host I see that the domain myVM is marked as 'running.
naturally There is not way to access it via ssh yet and I'd expect to be a given that is should be possible to acces a VM's command line from my host directly
virsh connect qemu:///system myVM is something I came up with but that only returns an error
"error: unexpected data 'myVM'"
Furthermore I am unable to stop the machine (virsh shutdown myVM) either, it just keeps running until killing it
