2019-03-29 09:00:48 Jean-Baptiste Lallement summary syslinux menu is displayed when a desktop ISO is powered from virt-manager syslinux menu is displayed when a desktop ISO is powered from virt-manager and SPICE enabled.
2019-03-29 09:01:09 Jean-Baptiste Lallement description If a desktop ISO is booted from virt-manager it displays the syslinux menu (text menu that a user gets when a key is pressed on boot) The menu is not displayed when the image is booted from a command line with virsh start. I expect the behaviour to be the same than booting on hardware, the syslinux should not be displayed and the ISO boots to ubiquity-dm (Ubiquity dialog showing the options try or install Ubuntu) This is always reproducible on the same machine with ISOs of different flavours, but not all the physical machines running the same version of libvirt and qemu exhibit this behaviour.
