GNOME boxes does not create VM

[Hopscotch Willie]

When I try to install a VM from an ISO file, GNOME boxes' create button is greyed out.

I'm on Ubuntu 23.04, kernel 6.2.0-20-generic.

~$ gnome-boxes --checks

• Libvirt KVM guest available: no
• Boxes storage pool available: no
    Could not get “gnome-boxes” storage pool information from libvirt. Make sure “virsh -c qemu:///session pool-dumpxml gnome-boxes” is working.
• The SELinux context is default: no

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

I believe I have found a solution to this. Could you test installing the libvirt-daemon-system package and rebooting?

[Hopscotch Willie (hopscotch-willie)]

@jmdarn You are right, I installed as asked and now I'm able to create VM's in gnome-boxes. Thank you for your help!

Installing libvirt-daemon-system also worked for me on Ubuntu Desktop 23.10
