The same virt-install command fails on my TW host due to missing OS name # virt-install --memory=512 --name=nested_vm_test --graphics=vnc --disk=none --boot=cdrom ERROR --os-variant/--osinfo OS name is required, but no value was set or detected. This is now a fatal error. Specifying an OS name is required for modern, performant, and secure virtual machine defaults. You can see a full list of possible OS name values with: virt-install --osinfo list If your Linux distro is not listed, try one of generic values such as: linux2022, linux2020, linux2018, linux2016 If you just need to get the old behavior back, you can use: --osinfo detect=on,require=off Or export VIRTINSTALL_OSINFO_DISABLE_REQUIRE=1
