Ubuntu server - virsh vm 3cx install

[DaveJH]

So i'm setting up unbuntu server with VM's to run 3cx.
The machine seems to stick after creating the vm and trying to install the os
sudo virt-install \
--name pbx-vm1 \
--ram 4096 \
--vcpus 2 \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/pbx-vm1.qcow2,size=50 \
--cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/3cx.iso \
--os-variant debian12 \
--network bridge=br0 \
--graphics vnc \
--boot cdrom,hd \
--noautoconsole
This Is the command line I use to create the VM, anymore questions I will be delighted to answer.
----------------------------
Current progress: domain is still running. Installation may be in progress.
Waiting for the installation to complete.

Hi,

This could be some problem with hardware drivers?
Can you try to install Debian 12 (Bookworm) without graphical, just server.
It that works, install the 3CX server on to the fresh Debian OS.

Dave, are you able to get a 'vanilla' console open and simply manually / interactively go through the install inside your new VM?
There will be a series of interactive questions that must be answered (typically) to move along a 3cx install-from-ISO.

I have a number of sites where 3cx-SBC is run as a small KVM VM guest and there is 100% no trouble with this
I believe 3cx-full install is equally straightforward normally. in my experience

I realize this is maybe not 100% supported officially config from 3cx team (ie, to use atypical hypervisor, etc) but that being said
from my experience it can work very smoothly
