Description of problem: Clicking the "+" icon with an aarch64 machine, if one selects "Download OS" the only choices are x86_64 and 686 OS choices. Selecting one of them downloads the x86 image (as expected) but of course it can't run it. Manually downloading the F38 fedora server .iso image and using "Install from file" and manually clicking Operating System->fedora and UEFI options (the BIOS option doesn't work either and probably shouldn't be visible) just results in a blank boxes screen with just the "+" icon. Nothing seems to be starting or getting added. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-boxes-44.0-1.fc38.aarch64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a fedora workstation/aarch64 2. Run boxes 3. add VM. Actual results: no VM Expected results: A VM starts. Additional info:

This is still relevant
This has been a really low priority thing, but I will respin the upstream patches in the near future, although I had hoped for someone to at least take a look/review them before I updated them with just my own review comments.
