Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.30.3-2
Severity: important
When creating a new box, gnome-boxes shows the option "Download an
OS". This option doesn't work.
To reproduce:
- Start gnome-boxes, click "New"
- Click "Download an OS"
- Choose a distro, all (other than RHEL) seem to give the same result.
Some that I tried:
- Debian 9 i686 (netinst)
- Ubuntu 18.10 x86_64
- Fedora 29 Workstation x86_64 (Live)
You get a screen that says:
> Preparing to create a new box
> Downloading media...
It briefly shows a pop-up message:
> Unsupported protocol "file"
After this, nothing seems to happen. Nothing gets downloaded.
