Comment 1 Zeeshan Ali 2015-08-25 20:22:54 UTC
One most important thing you mentioned on IM was that you get exactly the same error when you try to launch the box from virsh. That means it's unlikely to be a Boxes bug. Please either file it on libvirt (I wish we had all software on one tracker), that would be very helpful.
Comment 2 Zeeshan Ali 2015-09-01 21:44:18 UTC
So did you file the bug then?

Thanks!

Just realized this is a dup of bug#751696 that I can sometimes reproduce too.
