Description of problem: I'm trying to create a VM in GNOME-Boxes, but all I get is an error in the GUI saying that it failed to create the VM. After asking on #boxes IRC, one user (toso) instructed me to run: G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Boxes gnome-boxes resulting in: (gnome-boxes:11971): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-style.css:76:18: The 'outline-radius' property has been renamed to '-gtk-outline-radius' (gnome-boxes:11971): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-style.css:87:18: The 'outline-radius' property has been renamed to '-gtk-outline-radius' (gnome-boxes:11971): Boxes-DEBUG: util-app.vala:199: Connected to system libvirt, now fetching domains..
