Bug Description
Problem Description
=======
Ubuntu 14.10 VNC mode installation process does not interpret key strokes correctly.
---uname output---
Ubuntu daily build dated Oct 6th 2014
Machine Type = 8284-22A
System Hang
==========
During VNC mode installation, whenever the installer asks for input (for example password for a user) , it does not interpret key inputs properly.
One example : When I type Sachin as a user name, the installer screen interprets it as Saachiin or Saccchhiiin.
I have observed similar behavior post installation as well (while typing in VNC console)
sachin@ubuntu:~$ cd /etcc/
-bash: cd: /etcc/: No such file or directory
sachin@ubuntu:~$ lls
No command 'lls' found, did you mean:
.....
Steps to Reproduce
=======
1. define and start the below xml for VNC based installation.

2. verify the VNCport and enable the iptables on pkvm host to use the same.
[root@lep8a ISO]# virsh vncdisplay GMT_ubuntu14_10_VNC
:1
[root@lep8a ISO]# firewall-cmd --add-port 1/tcp
[root@lep8a ISO]#
[root@lep8a ISO]# firewall-cmd --add-service=
Warning: ALREADY_ENABLED
3. using the vncviewer try to connect to the <pkVMhostIP:1>
the vncviewer connects and the install begins. I have used Vinagre (a remote desktop viewer for the GNOME desktop)
