Bug Description
Installing gnome-boxes does not add the user to the needed kvm group.
This leads to the problem that it is impossible to start any system within gnome-boxes.
Gnome-Boxes throwes the error: CPU mode 'custom' for x86_64 kvm domain on x86_64 host is not supported by hypervisor
adduser <username> kvm solves that problem but how should an average user know that. Gnome-Boxes is not usable as of now.
