Re: installing and accessing a VM? - newbie question maybe

Please don't use HTML messages for the list, or at least configure your
MUA to send both plaintext and HTML messages.

So, here are some pointers:

- When you are connected you don't see anything because the VM doesn't
  have console properly set up, I'd guess.

- The string "^]" means "Hold Ctrl and press ]", that's the usual
  escape character, for more info why it's done this way, you can read
  a bit about terminals if you're interested.

- The command "virsh connect something vm_name" means run virsh, and in
  it execute command "connect something vm_name", but 'connect' means
  connecting to the daemon (or a driver) and takes one argument, so the
  'vm_name' there doesn't make sense.  You could do virsh console
  vm_name, but that's essentially what virt-install did at the end of
  the installation.

- You might try using virt-manager instead if you're not familiar with
  the terminal (I'm guessing that by the fact that it doesn't look like
  you tried reading the man pages).  virt-manager is able to do
  everything virt-install does and it also offers graphics console and
  other options.  For you the benefit would be that it is GUI.

- Or if you just want to see the guest, virt-viewer is a lightweight
  viewer that does not have any options to configure the vm, but you
  can use it for accessing the graphics displays.

Hope that helped, have a nice day.
