  I am trying to install xubuntu 18.04 as a qemu guest. The installation
  process goes smoothly and I reboot. After reboot, the boot process
  hangs with black screen and a blinking pointer. I used the following
  steps to install and boot the machine:

  STEP 1:
  sudo qemu-img create /var/lib/libvirt/images/xubuntu18_04.qcow2 30G

  
  STEP 2:
  sudo qemu-system-x86_64-spice -enable-kvm -cpu host -boot d -cdrom 
/home/sushant/Downloads/xubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso 
/var/lib/libvirt/images/xubuntu18_04.qcow2   -m 8G

  
  STEP 3:
  sudo qemu-system-x86_64-spice -enable-kvm -cpu host  
/var/lib/libvirt/images/xubuntu18_04.qcow2   -m 8G

  I tried with ubuntu 18.04(deafult ubuntu) and it also hangs with error
  "removed slice user slice of gdm"

  Also, if I install ubuntu 16.04 as guest, it boots smoothly.

  What should be done?
