Cannot Create VMs in gnome-boxes

[Tim Apple]

I've tried with 2 different .isos to get a VM going and neither has worked, will be trying a few more. Log spitts out the following.

Broker URL: qemu+unix:///session
Domain: boxes-unknown-2
UUID: 22b126f8-892a-43dd-876f-a8b842b34752
Persistent: yes
Cpu time: 0
Memory: 2097152 KiB
Max memory: 16346972 KiB
CPUs: 8

I am experiencing this issue as well.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is probably a duplicate of bug 1767302 so I'm marking it as a duplicate.
