Why won't Boxes work?
Hi there. This is my first question. I'm quite new to Fedora, but have been using Ubuntu for a long time. On Ubuntu, when I couldn't get Boxes to work, I needed to sudo adduser USERNAME kvm
, while I assume that's the issue I'm facing now, I have no idea how to do it on Fedora.
This is what comes up in the troubleshooting information:
