Description Taha KONUK 2016-04-02 14:58:10 UTC 
When I first open the gnome-boxes from terminal I get:

** (gnome-boxes:4034): WARNING **: Using a file (/usr/share/gnome-boxes/gnome-boxes-logos-db.xml) as a database location is deprecated, use a directory instead

(gnome-boxes:4034): Boxes-WARNING **: libvirt-broker.vala:117: Unable to open qemu+unix:///session: Failed to connect socket to '/run/user/1000/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

With this output my boxes are not listed and I can't create new boses with error message "Box setup failed".

Then I exit and reopen the app after waiting for a while, this time my boxes are listed and I can create new boxes. If I close the app and wait for a while, the whole process starts over.

It seems the creation of the libvirt socket is triggered asynchronously and gnome-boxes can't catch up with it.(just a guess).

If I use "libvirtd -d" before launching the gnome-boxes, boxes work at first time.

Pretty sure this is a duplicate of bug#751696.
