..fails with an error message when the kvm and kvm-intel modules are not loaded $ sudo modprobe kvm-intel $ lsmod | grep kvm kvm_intel 131072 0 kvm 221184 1 kvm_intel ..and the qemu vm is significantly faster when using "-enable-kvm"Ok thanks :)How does gnome-boxes detect the kvm modules? Is there a way to get debug output?G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all should give some debug output. Otherwise you can try your luck with strace, maybe it will show something. Have you checked if the libvirt QEMU driver and is installed (/usr/lib64/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so) ? It's packaged separately on my Fedora in libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu. There is also a libvirt-daemon-kvm, but this one seems to be more of an
empty
virtual packages with dependencies on all the packages libvirt needs in
such
an environment.
I have: /usr/local/lib/libvirt/connection-driver/libvirt_driver_qemu.so /usr/local/lib/libvirt-qemu.so /usr/local/lib/libvirt-qemu.so.0 /usr/local/lib/libvirt-qemu.so.0.1003.2 ..but not libvirt-daemon-kvm $ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all gnome-boxes --checks (gnome-boxes:28121): Boxes-DEBUG: util-app.vala:248: check_cpu_vt_capability: yes (gnome-boxes:28121): Boxes-DEBUG: util-app.vala:268: check_module_kvm_loaded: yes ... $ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all gnome-boxes (gnome-boxes:28147): Gtk-DEBUG: Connecting to session manager (gnome-boxes:28147): Libvirt.GLib-DEBUG: Error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory (gnome-boxes:28147): Boxes-DEBUG: wizard-source.vala:285: Unable to open qemu+unix:///system: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro': No such file or directory (gnome-boxes:28147): Boxes-DEBUG: app.vala:396: Failed to query '/home/tc/.cache/gnome-boxes/sources/QEMU Session': Error when getting information for file '/home/tc/.cache/gnome-boxes/sources/QEMU Session': No such file or directory.
