[Bug 1278476] Re: Installer does not start in kvm

 

It seems that the error message is not the reason why the installer does
not start. I figured out that my working saucy also gives that message
and then starts without problems.

The latest daily build hangs in the black screen a long time but then
starts the installer. Which does not look very fancy (see attachted
screenshot).
