Title:
  Ubiquity does not start during raring desktop installations using
  libvirt and KVM

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Manual raring desktop installations do not start when using libvirt
  and KVM when not going through live session. This is observed with
  20130215 raring desktop both amd64 and i386 installations.

  Steps:
  1. Use Virtual Machine Manager for the installation
  2. Boot with the iso
  3. Press Space bar at the 'Human-Keyboard' screen
  4. Select 'Install ubuntu' on the next screen and hit Enter
  5. There is no progress and the installation stops on the screen as given in the attachment. The plymouth does not appear either.
  ( Could not collect any logs because there was no response to any key presses)

  Not pressing the Space bar at the 'Human-Keyboard' screen on Step 3
  above also leads to the same failed screen as can be seen from the
  attached screenshot.

  Selecting 'Try Ubuntu' on step 4 above goes to the live session and
  the installation could proceed fine from there. The issue is only when
  ubiquity is started straight away on step 4.

  The Host machine has a 64 bit Quantal installation.

  The installations work fine with hardware and when using Virtual Box.
  The issue only appears to occur when using libvirt usign KVM.
