(Get the code!)
If we are trying to document alternatives here:
1. the type is not needed to get 18.04. I never understood why people use virt-install so much.
If one insist on installing ISO just install any from [1] or similar, you don't need the type for that at all - any Ubuntu (or even other Linux) type will work.
2. If "needs to get Ubuntu 18.04 on a KVM" is the only target here, there are many way better ways than virt-install anyway - I wonder why these days this is still used so much.
2.1 uvtool
# only needed once
$ uvt-simplestrea
# get a new guest
$ uvt-kvm create bionic1 arch=amd64 release=bionic label=daily
2.2 multipass
$ sudo snap install --beta multipass --classic
$ multipass launch daily:18.04
There are probably much more, but those are much more comfortable getting an image of the day running within a guest.
P.S. even thou I don't see a reason to fix this with priority I get from the reports that others want/need it - and I'm certainly not alone, so lets bump the prio a bit for all of you that like the way based on osinfo-db entries.
