Title:
  Ubuntu 14.10 VNC mode installation hangs at the installer screen
  "Select a language"

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Problem Description
  -------------------------
  Ubuntu 14.10 VNC mode installation hangs at the installer screen "Select a language"

  ---uname output---
  Ubuntu daily build dated July 21st  2014
   
  Machine Type = 8284-22A 
   
  ---System Hang---
   During VNC mode installation,  the installer hangs at the screen "Select a language", it does not accept any key inputs.

  Have verified it with both windows vncviewer (ultraVNC) and also linux
  vncviewer (tightvnc-java). Its the same behavior.

  Tried it even with expert mode, it hangs at the very first graphical screen and doesn't accept any key inputs.
   
   pKVM host:
  [root at lep8a ISO]# cat /etc/issue
  IBM_PowerKVM release 2.1.1 build 3 alpha (pkvm2_1_1)
  Kernel \r on a \m (\l)

  Steps to reproduce:
  -------------------------------------
  1. define and start the below xml for VNC based installation.
  [root at lep8a ISO]# qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/manu/ubuntu14_10_VNC.qcow2 60G

  2. verify the VNCport and enable the iptables on pkvm host to use the same.
  [root at lep8a ISO]# virsh vncdisplay GMT_ubuntu14_10_VNC
  :1
  [root at lep8a ISO]# firewall-cmd --add-port 1/tcp
  [root at lep8a ISO]#

  [root at lep8a ISO]# firewall-cmd --add-service=vnc-server
  Warning: ALREADY_ENABLED

  3. using the vncviewer try to connect to the <pkVMhostIP:1>
