I am also affected by this - ubuntu 18.04 - but "upgraded"/updated continuously from beta
1) There seems to be packages missing after installing gnome-boxes, these ones were not installed so I installed them AFTER I installed gnome-boxes: sudo apt-get install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-bin 2) I can't start the VM and have the same issue as described above. The fix with adding group=kvm and adding me to the kvm group works for me, too! Maybe there are "some lines missing" in the installation process of gnome-boxes? It is not only "annoying" it makes the package completely unusable without this fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762205 Title: GNOME boxes fails to start virtual os To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-boxes/+bug/1762205/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
