Bug Description
Whenever I try to create a virtual machine in Boxes, I can get all the way through loading the boot menu from the given .iso file (in my case, attempting to create an Ubuntu Server 14.04.2 LTS 64-bit virtual machine on my Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS 64-bit host OS), but after hitting the Enter key to select the the option to install, Boxes backs out to the main screen and just shows a blank black rectangle in the upper left corner.
See attachments: I included both a screencast of the issue in action, and a text file containing errors when doing those steps while running via gnome-boxes >> boxes_errors.txt 2>&1 .
