Guix System Problem with GNOME Boxes

To build a virtual machine with GNOME Boxes, I have this problem:

"virtualization extensions are unavailable on your system. Check your

bios settings to enable them."

I had not encountered this problem on other operating systems such as Debian.

I recommend checking the permissions of /dev/kvm, and if the GNOME Boxes

application has permission to access /dev/kvm.

what should I do? change permission of the file?

Should I change the config.scm file?

You should add yourself to the ‘kvm’ supplementary-group.

Kind regards,

T G-R

I added myself to this group using this method `sudo usermod -a -G kvm username`. But the problem is not solved. Did I do this wrong?

List of groups:

~$ groups

users netdev audio video wheel

Should "kvm" be created?

musics--- via Bug reports for GNU Guix ???

Yes. Remember you're using Guix System, a (relatively)

declarative operating system.

Read the ‘User Accounts’ section of the Guix manual, edit your

configuration, reconfigure, and reboot.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Yes, I understand ... I was reading exactly this page...

Dear,

Please avoid to pollute the Bug Tracker. Because people doing bug

triage are then unhappy and have to read irrelevant messages with the

bug at hand.

The usual entry point asking for help is help-guix@gnu.org or #guix on

irc.freenode.net.

All the best,

simon

makes it easier for others to copy your code, and uses significantly
