Package: gnome-boxes Version: 3.26.2-3 Followup-For: Bug #889990 Dear Maintainer,
I was having the same issue on a derivative distribution (pureos). After discussing on their bug system they found that the user should be in the kvm group. You can see the discussion there: https://tracker.pureos.net/T320 so you can try: sudo adduser <youruser> kvm newgrp kvm gnome-boxes And see if it works for you !
