Question Gnome Boxes gives spinning wheel of death


Hello folks,
When I try to launch Gnome boxes it never loads my virtual machines I have installed.
It just gives the mate icon spinning around and never loads. (Screenshot attached)
I'm on Debian Bookworm with Kernel 6.1.0-9-amd64 which was recently upgraded to that version.
The only errors I get is this
Code:
gnome-boxes
error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is invalid or not set in the environment.
EGLDisplay Initialization failed: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED
what in the what does that mean and how would I fix this??
Thanks in advance!

Thumbs up

This was due to an issue with SAMBA apparently, I did a SAMBA update and now it's working again.

If desktops are refered to as boxes do you also refer to laptops as boxes? dr_zayus69 General 14 12-24-2005 03:46 PM
