CentOS KVM, Hyper-V, etc. nested in VMware Player but not Ubuntu based KVM?

I can get CentOS based KVM, Hyper-V, etc. nested in VMware Player but not Ubuntu based KVM?  Yes, I realize this topic may inspire some interesting comments, but for those that want to ask why?  Please, the answer is, because that is the goal.  Ubuntu based KVM nested in VMware Player 6.0.1.  The fact that I can get CentOS based KVM nested and working in VMware Player as well as Hyper-V, I can't see any reason why I can't get Ubuntu KVM working.  In fact, I can install KVM in Ubuntu and start a 64-bit VM, but once started I never seem to get any boot sequence, or at least no video of the boot sequence.  Any crack this nut?  Getting Ubuntu based KVM working in VMware Player?

Well, this one turned out to be odd but easy to resolve, it appears the Ubuntu KVM install at least on 13.10, the default VM creation emulation is set to KVM, which has been deprecated.  Recreating a VM as Qemu/KVM 64 bit, works!  Mystery solved.
