This is what is NOT happening, currently. From dmesg, I got the following kernel command line: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/mapper/ibmpkvm_vg_root- ibmpkvm_lv_system ro console=tty0 console=hvc0 crashkernel=1024M rd.retry=720 As Ubuntu is specifying console=hvc0 as the last console argument in the kernel command line, the installer is always booting on the serial console, no matter if a graphical adapter is present or not. > > If I've understood the meaning correctly, you're suggesting that the > installer should know if the graphical adapter is being used, and if it is, > automatically run on that console instead of on the serial console.

No. What we are requesting here is that, if a graphical adapter is present, the installer should start on the graphical console. Nowadays it seems the installer is being enabled only on the last console specified in the kernel command line. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1513108 Title: Ubuntu 14.04.3 VM fails to install using Kimchi from PowerKVM 3.1 on Firestone To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1513108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
