gnome-boxes immediately fails to start freshly installed vm

[Dominik]

I just installed gnome-boxes in the current Ubuntu 20.04, created a VM and installed Linux in it (Ubuntu 20.04 and then Mint 19.3) and upon restart the VM doesn't come up again and trying to start it manually results in an immediate failure.

System info:
Description: Ubuntu Focal Fossa (development branch)
Release: 20.04

Package info:
gnome-boxes:
  Zainstalowana: 3.36.0-1

Thank you for your bug report, it could be the same as bug #1869596, could you try if that's still an issue with 3.36.2?

[Dominik (dominalien)]

VMs which were created at the time I reported the bug (gnome-boxes 3.36.0 I think) continue to fail to start. Newly installed VMs start OK.
