Details

Description: I can't start a VM with Fedora or Fedora SB images. On the Arch Discord someone mentioned the AUR package "edk2-ovmf" that references Fedora somehow, so I instead tried with Ubuntu and Endless Images (All these images downloaded through the Gnome Boxes assistant) and these two work fine. Looks like some missing dependency for Fedora images use case?

I was getting this error:

(gnome-boxes:5789): Boxes-WARNING **: 20:02:17.432: vm-assistant.vala:133: Failed to create machine: Unable to start domain: Failed to open file '/usr/share/qemu/edk2-i386-vars.fd': No such file or directory



Additional info:
* Package version: 3.36.0-1
* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce: Open Gnome Boxes, try to create a Fedora WS or Fedora SB VM using the assistant.
This task depends upon

I can't reproduce this problem with gnome-boxes 3.36.4-1. Fedora starts fine without edk2-ovmf.

Could you confirm it?

I can confirm it's working now. Thanks a lot!
