Description of problem: I have created some virtual machine. I select it and click on "delete" button. Immediately after that I close the gnome-boxes window. (don't touch notification about undelete option) And there are 3 issues: - I can't start (or open) gnome-boxes application again - in "top" there is running gnome-boxes process with 100% cpu - after killing it I can open gnome-boxes but deleted virtual machine is NOT deleted
100% cpu and not possible to open gnome-boxes you can achieve this way: - start Tails in gnome-boxes - https://tails.boum.org/ - stop Tails - immediately close window with gnome-boxes application (don't touch notification message)
I have exactly the same problem.
I've deleted all the local config files from my home directory ./.local/share/gnome-boxes ./.cache/gnome-boxes ./.config/libvirt/storage/autostart/gnome-boxes.xml ./.config/libvirt/storage/gnome-boxes.xml ./.config/gnome-boxes and the problem seems to be gone. Looks like some bad configuration options left over from previous versions.. or corrupted files.
This has been fixed upstream in commit https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/commit/2da41ddc99f24b50f025bb7e269effc231406da4 The fix will be available in Fedora 28. If you can't wait for that, I've prepared a scratch-build containing the fix: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25193057
