Bug#763141: gnome-boxes : Unable to use a VM or create a new one

[Ludovic Lebègue]

Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: Serious

Hi,

I have one Virtual machines created and located in
${HOME}/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images/debian7

When launching gnome-boxes /var/log/messages shows this warning message

(gnome-boxes:2137): Boxes-WARNING **: libvirt-broker.vala:102: Unable to
open qemu+unix:///session: Failed to connect socket to
'/run/user/1000/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

and then my VM is not available to play with...

I wanted to create another one and gnome-boxes displayed a message 'Box
setup failed'.

Looking further in /var/log/messages :

org.gnome.Boxes[1622]: (gnome-boxes:2137): Boxes-WARNING **:
wizard.vala:459: Failed to create storage pool: invalid connection
pointer in virStoragePoolDefineXML

Regards
Ludovic
