i have a problem with my ubuntu server on which i installed kvm and virt-install so i can run a VM. I tried to install the VM with the following command showed below in the code but i get an error of unsupported configuration.. I am also trying to install it on the home directory because i have a special place assigned for my VMs as showed below.. Can you tell me how can i resolve this issue?

Just to be clear, the installation is not successful.

Thank you

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
