The --location option takes a path to an ISO image. You have extra stuff 
after the ISO path.

Hello

See the man page https://linux.die.net/man/1/virt-install

In location you must pass only the ISO file, you are passing parameters 
that virt-install uses as file name as it warns you:

'/var/lib/libvirt/isos/ubuntu-20.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso,kernel=casper/vmlinuz,initrd=casper/initrd'

That's the file is trying to open, and obviously, don't exists.
