** Description changed:

  I have installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 amd64 with all updates.
  
  I have downloaded:
  * Ubuntu 14.0.4.2 i386 iso (ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso, MD5SUM = a8a14f1f92c1ef35dae4966a2ae1a264).
  * Ubuntu 14.10 i386 iso (ubuntu-14.10-desktop-i386.iso, MD5SUM = 4a3c4b8421af51c29c84fb6f4b3fe109)
  
  They do not boot to Unity from QEMU-KVM with the all the  following commands:
  * sudo kvm -m 1536 -cdrom ubuntu-*-desktop-i386.iso
  * sudo kvm -m 1536 -cdrom ubuntu-*-desktop-i386.iso -vga std
  * sudo kvm -m 1536 -cdrom ubuntu-*-desktop-i386.iso -vga vmware
  
  In  14.04 and 14.10 can see empty purple desktop or purple desktop with two shortcuts ("Examples" and "Install Ubuntu ...").
  15.10 does not boot or boot to safe graphic mode (it is bug 1437740).
  
  
  This bug should be confirmed and fixed.
  Users may want to run Ubuntu in QEMU/KVM, not just VirtualBox.
