I was curious on how Lubuntu 19.10 looked but I didn't feel like rebooting my computer and loading into a new ISO. Luckily there is a nice easy way to play around with live CDs.
|
|
|
|
Here's the command
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
virt-install --name=Lubuntu \
|
|
--nodisks --livecd \
|
|
--graphics spice \
|
|
--vcpu=4 \
|
|
--ram=4096 \
|
|
--os-type=linux \
|
|
--sound \
|
|
--accelerate \
|
|
--cdrom=$HOME/Downloads/lubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The arguments mean the following
|
|
|
|
| Argument | Meaning |
|
|
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
| nodisks | No storage disks are created |
|
|
| livecd | Set the boot to the cdrom after installation |
|
|
| graphics | Sets the graphics mode |
|
|
| vcpu | Number of virtual CPUs |
|
|
| RAM | Size of RAM |
|
|
| os-type | Linux/Windows/etc. |
|
|
| sound | Attach a virtual audio device |
|
|
| accelerate | Make use of the KVM or KQEMU kernel acceleration capabilities if available. |
|
|
| cdrom | Location of ISO |
|
|
|
|
Once you run this command once, the image is "installed". This means that we can easily access it in the future with the following commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
virsh start Lubuntu
|
|
virt-viewer Lubuntu
|
|
```
|
