I installed Ubuntu 14.04 server on a spare headless system this week. During the install I selected SSH Server and Virtual Machine Host because I wanted to get more familiar with KVM virtual machines. Most of my virtual machine experience is with VMWare.
You can see the font problem I am having in these screenshots.
Other than locking down SSH, installing fail2ban and a few other minor security changes it is a default Ubuntu 14.04 server install. The hardware is an AMD FX-4350, 8GB, SATAIII 500Gb, Gigabyte motherboard with integrated Radeon HD 3000.
I followed the example on the Ubuntu Server Guide and used virt-install. I used the following command to create the virtual machine:
Once the virtual machine is up and running I connect to it using a VNC client. As you can see in the screenshots something unusual is happening with some of the fonts. I have tried both UltraVNC and TightVNC, and I have tried changing the jpeg compression and various connection options that deal with graphics to try to resolve the issue. I changed the resolution in the virtual machine to a higher resolution, 1280x768, to see if it corrected the issue. I installed Xubuntu on another virtual machine, using essentially the same virt-install command, to see if the issue was specifically with Ubuntu but I get the same problem. I also tried accessing the virtual machines using a VNC viewer running on a Linux desktop and got the same results.
I have tried searching for a solution but I guess my Google-fu isn't good enough to find it. Has anyone had this problem and found a resolution?
