Public bug reported: 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://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974198 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.
