newer versions of virt-install require --os-variant/--osinfo OS name #63

Closed csmart closed 2 years ago

csmart commented 2 years ago 
[16:25 csmart ~]$ virt-install
ERROR    
--os-variant/--osinfo OS name is required, but no value was
set or detected.

This is now a fatal error. Specifying an OS name is required
for modern, performant, and secure virtual machine defaults.

You can see a full list of possible OS name values with:

   virt-install --osinfo list

If your Linux distro is not listed, try one of generic values
such as: linux2020, linux2018, linux2016

If you just need to get the old behavior back, you can use:

  --osinfo detect=on,require=off

Or export VIRTINSTALL_OSINFO_DISABLE_REQUIRE=1

Also, --os-type is deprecated.
