How was that iso image downloaded?
What are the permissions on that iso file? ls -lZ /var/home/saleeshsuresheyyani/Downloads/Win10_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64v1.iso should give the needed info for permissions.
An additional thought may be the boot mode used in the setup of that VM before actually starting the install.
I am able to install win10 and win11 using the VMM and setting the boot mode to uefi within vmm before starting the install.
Hi, thank you for the instant response.
I have downloaded the file from the below link , the name of the file is Win10_22H2_EnglishInternational_x64v1.iso and the location is /var/home/saleeshsuresheyyani/Downloads. i am unable to change the permissions on the software . it says you are not the owner hence you cannot change the permissions. but i do not face the same problem in the gnome “boxes”, however i do not prefer using gnome boxes as it does not have the option to share folder with host .
i actually thought about using virtual box however i am afraid it might not be compatible.
i tried the same previously on linux mint and the system crashed.
thanks both of you.
i confirm that i have not messed with the python. on fedora silverblue.
forgot to mean the permissions are read only and i am unable to change it
in the boot menu the option is already set to uefi. can i use virtual box instead . would it be compatible with fedora silverblue
It’s very likely that you did not grant traversal access to your home directory to others, and thus libvirt can not access this file. Try: chmod a+x /var/home/saleeshsuresheyyani/
thank you timothy and others, with a combination of steps followed by you, the problem is now solved. Sorry for too many questions , I had one more doubt
Question:I want to create a shared folder for my windows 11 vm and fedora silverblue . for this i want to use the most secure method. the default method is nat . do i need to use bridge method to create shared folder and is it secure?
