Bug Description
Host: Xubuntu 13.04
Guest: Xubuntu 14.04 with qxl graphics
When connecting to a KVM guest via Spice client characters are not displayed (in graphical mode), to such extent that messages become unreadable/guest becomes unusable.
This bug was reported and kind of resolved for Red Hat/Fedora: https:/
The mentioned workaround to add kernel parameter nomodeset worked for me up to now.
Proposed resolution: Upgrade Debian/Ubuntu package to an up-to-date upstream release.

Description of problem:
There are missing letters in various screens of anaconda in the Fedora 19 TC3 build. See the attached screenshots.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19 TC3
anaconda 19.30.5-1
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce: test-machine101 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2 \ spice --noautoconsole \ fedora18 \ network= default, model=virtio \ /var/lib/ libvirt/ images/ Fedora- 19-TC3- x86_64- netinst. iso \ /var/lib/ libvirt/ images/ test-machine101 .img,bus= virtio, size=10
1. Use the netinst ISO image to build a virtual machine:
virt-install --name=
--graphics=
--os-type=linux --os-variant=
--network=
--cdrom=
--disk=
2. Navigate the anaconda hub and spokes
Actual results:
letters are missing, e.g., in the Software Selection spoke, the GNOME Desktop group description is
" NOME is a highly intuitive..."
where did the G in GNOME go?
and in the Installation Source spoke, the ISO file Verify button is " erify" and the Updates section is " pdates"
Expected results:
all the letters in the words are visible
