(thanks to your explanation I at least know how to escape here now (ctrl +])
can you give any pointer how to setup the VM's console properly I Could imagine virsh
edit [domain] would be something to try out.
* 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.
virt-viewer again ... I am on a GUI less server, so that's not a option. I think
setting up the console is the thing one needs to figure out.
