No X Support Virtualization Possible?


lets say you are running fedora without gui, can you still install and use guest virtual machines?

same question is for ubuntu server?

of course you can. there's nothing stopping you at all. What problems are you coming up against? You may wish to install base X libraries to be able to run tools like virtmanager over SSH etc, but this is just a few libraries, and is not at all like installing XWindows properly.

You can of course also install virtmanager on a different system completely and connect over the network in a variety of ways.

when i am installing an OpenSUSE as the Guest Os through virt-install, Fedora prints installing but is not prompting me any window so I can start making the selections of openSUSE installation. So it made me think that how is the Guest OS is being installed when you can not make any selections prior to installation such as Language, Time, Partition. What I would expect basically is a screen just like you put the openSUSE dvd into a regular machine and boot it. Where is the logical mistake???
