** Summary changed:

- syslinux menu is displayed when a desktop ISO is powered from virt-manager
+ syslinux menu is displayed when a desktop ISO is powered from virt-manager 
and SPICE enabled.

** Description changed:

  If a desktop ISO is booted from virt-manager it displays the syslinux menu 
(text menu that a user gets when a key is pressed on boot)
  The menu is not displayed when the image is booted from a command line with 
virsh start.
  
  I expect the behaviour to be the same than booting on hardware, the
  syslinux should not be displayed and the ISO boots to ubiquity-dm
  (Ubiquity dialog showing the options try or install Ubuntu)
  
  This is always reproducible on the same machine with ISOs of different
  flavours, but not all the physical machines running the same version of
  libvirt and qemu exhibit this behaviour.
+ 
+ Switching to VNC works around this issue.
