By the way, if I do the opposite: On an new Ubuntu 14.04 server installation with a newly installed guest Ubuntu dekstop; Use virsh edit and change the machine type to pc-1.0, then the quest VM has the same issues upon login.

Add'l input from my environment: I recently upgraded one of my two local hosts from Precise to Trusty, containing a dozen or so guests, including Ubuntu Precise, Trusty, CentOS, and a Windows guest. I had to adjust the machine types in the XML definitions after the upgrade. Other than that, these guests have all been stable and happy. Granted, I generally don't use VNC/VGA to access them, so our scenarios are a bit different in that. As a quick check, I just tested using VNC (Vinagre client) from my Precise desktop to the Trusty-upgraded server that hosts about half of my VMs. The beloved Windows 8 GUI, LXDE and Openbox displayed flawlessly for me. Display and responsiveness on these was normal. On the Trusty guests with XFCE, Gnome, and Gnome classic, there were some odd video artifacts and screen drawing issues over the qemu vnc head. I expect this is due to things like gpu acceleration and other fancy gui features, but that may require some more research. Next, I can hop on a Win 7 laptop and test VNC performance to a couple of those Trusty-hosted VM heads. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308756 Title: VNC graphics issues on guest VMs after server host upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1308756/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Thank you for filing this bug. For further clarification: are you connecting to a vncserver service running within the guest VM?
