Comment 8 for bug 1246121

Ah, it looks like verbose is actually -V (capital v). Here I tried again:

$ uvt new -V precise i386 clean

Problem creating virtual machine 'clean-precise-i386' (doesn't exist). Aborting.

If I try to run virt-install by hand I get this:

$ virt-install --quiet --connect=qemu:///system --name=clean-precise-i386 --arch=i386 --ram=1024 --disk=path=/home/robru/.machines/clean-precise-i386.qcow2,size=8,format=qcow2,sparse=true,bus=virtio --virt-type=kvm --accelerate --hvm --cdrom=/home/robru/ISOs/cache/vmtools-clean-precise-i386-ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-i386.iso --os-type=linux --os-variant=generic26 --graphics=vnc --network=network=default,model=virtio --video=cirrus --noreboot
ERROR Error in network device parameters: Virtual network 'default' has not been started.

That error seems more meaningful. How do I start default networking?

Still no logfiles created.
