[Bug 1762205] Re: GNOME boxes fails to start virtual os
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
[Bug 1762205] Re: GNOME boxes fails to start virtual os
Update: The solution of appending `group=kvm` causes a problem when updating packages such is nvidia binary drivers. This is the second package that causes this, don't remember the first one. The error is: ``` # various stuff ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-20-generic libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 'group=kvm' # error gets repeated 30+ times Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ... # various stuff ... ``` I am not sure how to fix it (potentially this may not even need to be an error but a warning).

I have the same problem in Ubuntu Mate 18.04. I was able to fix the problem following John's suggestion: At first I looked for package dependencies: $ apt-cache showpkg gnome-boxes Then we look for qemu-system-x86 configuration files: $ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/qemu-system-x86.conffiles Then we add `group=kvm` to /etc/modprobe.d/qemu-system-x86.conf Then we add ourselves to the kvm group $ sudo usermod -a -G kvm $USER Since closing and restarting Boxes didn't work I rebooted and then I was able to spin an Ubuntu 18.04 VM on my laptop with gnome-boxes. -- 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

[Bug 1762205] Re: GNOME boxes fails to start virtual os
So, this is simple to solve as it is a group issue. 1. Add group=kvm in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf 2. Add yourself to the kvm group - sudo usermod -a -G kvm userName Works after this. but shouldn't need this fix out of the box.
