How to install Ubuntu 22.04 as GUEST in KVM

I found this solution:

1. Download the ISO image

   wget https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso

2. Create mount point folder and mount the image:

   mkdir mnt
   sudo mount -o loop ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso mnt
   
   

3. Run virt-install with ISO image custom kernel path (it's required to pass console=ttyS0 arg, without this arg there is no console output and installation process is impossible):

   sudo virt-install --name myvm --ram=4096 --vcpus=1 --cpu host --hvm --disk path=/virt1/machines/myvm/myvm,size=40 --cdrom ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso --graphics none --console pty,target_type=serial --os-type linux --network network:default --hvm --force --debug --boot kernel=mnt/casper/vmlinuz,initrd=mnt/casper/initrd,kernel_args="console=ttyS0"
   
   

4. Install Ubuntu as usual

5. Stop the VM

   virsh destroy myvm

6. Remove boot options from VM configuration:

   sudo virsh edit myvm

Following lines should be removed:

<kernel>/home/user/mnt/casper/vmlinuz</kernel>
<initrd>/home/user/mnt/casper/initrd</initrd>
<cmdline>console=ttyS0</cmdline>

7. Start the VM:

   virsh start myvm

Now use it as usual.

It seems there is a possibility to use --install option in newer versions of virsh-manager. Also I saw the kernel and the initrd params in the --location path. Maybe it also could work. But I have virsh-manager 1.5.1 and these options are unavailable.
