[Bug 1767302] [NEW] User is not added to kvm group when installing gnome-boxes

[Johon Doee]

Public bug reported:

Installing gnome-boxes does not add the user to the needed kvm group.
This leads to the problem that it is impossible to start any system within gnome-boxes.

Gnome-Boxes throwes the error: CPU mode 'custom' for x86_64 kvm domain
on x86_64 host is not supported by hypervisor

adduser <username> kvm solves that problem but how should an average
user know that. Gnome-Boxes is not usable as of now.

** Affects: gnome-boxes (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: partman-auto (Ubuntu) => gnome-boxes (Ubuntu)
