Hey, I have a BTRFS subvolume for ~/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images with copy on write disabled. When run from terminal I can see the error, but basically when I click on the plus sign then choose the OS, there is Create and Customize, and non of those are responsive. Upon seeing the logs I can see that there are no permissions given, but as far as I know gnome-boxes can run without root. This is the error tracked with journalctl -f:
internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=0.10 /home/user/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ubuntu20.04 26214400K) unexpected exit status 1: qemu-img: /home/user/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ubuntu20.04: Could not create ‘/home/user/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ubuntu20.04’: Permission denied
simiarly from gnome-boxes ran from terminal, after clicking the OS that I want to proceed with:
(gnome-boxes:19099): Boxes-WARNING **: 21:42:41.530: review-page.vala:32: Box setup failed: Failed to create volume: internal error: Child process (/usr/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compat=0.10 /home/user/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ubuntu20.04 26214400K) unexpected exit status 1: qemu-img: /home/user/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ubuntu20.04: Could not create ‘/home/user/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/ubuntu20.04’: Permission denied
additionally it says this:
(gnome-boxes:19099): Boxes-CRITICAL **: 21:42:41.530: boxes_assistant_review_page_populate: assertion ‘machine != NULL’ failed
Thank you in advance.
