Sure. There are many ways to do this.

  • Clone an existing image (with dd, cp or rsync)
  • run the full installation of the DomU in text-mode
  • use xm console to connect to the text-console

But why do you want to do this without gui? You can log into your Dom0 with ssh -X and then start virt-manager.

  • @user113505 in that case you will be propably faster with mxrx-answer - go for virt-install. I had no clue that virt-manager does not work on Ubuntu...

Yes - you can use virt-install. Check out http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/virt-install.1.html - which both explains the command and provides some handy examples.
