Tried the following:
- gnome_os_installer.iso
- gnome_os_installer_40.beta.iso
on
- Virtualbox ( with EFI )
- GNOME Boxes 3.38.2-stable
- GNOME Boxes nightly flathub
Probably, I am missing something.
Thanks!

Boxes from Flathub certainly works. And I just tried the latest iso works too, and certainly the beta iso works as well.
Any logs or errors?
$ md5sum gnome_os_installer*

Error in BoxesDevel:

Thanks!
This error happens when you try to use install from an iso that isn’t in your home directory. Please copy it to your home directory (you can delete the iso once it is installed).
You can also run Boxes as flatpak run --filesystem=/where/the/iso/is/ org.gnome.Boxes
if you don’t want to copy.
Well that didn’t work for me.
Neither did the following:
$ flatpak run --user --filesystem=/vms/ org.gnome.BoxesDevel
machine.vala:644: Failed to start GNOME OS Nightly 4: Unable to start domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2021-03-01T05:23:11.183453Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device ide-cd,bus=ide.2,drive=libvirt-1-format,id=sata0-0-2,bootindex=1: Failed to lock byte 100
Not sure why.
The following worked though:
$ flatpak override --user --filesystem=/vms/ org.gnome.BoxesDevel
$ flatpak override --user --show org.gnome.BoxesDevel
[Context]
filesystems=/vms;
$ flatpak run org.gnome.BoxesDevel
Current status:
Both 'gnome_os_installer.iso'
and 'gnome_os_installer_40.beta.iso'
work in Boxes nightly flatpak.
Both ISOs fail to boot in Boxes 3.38.2-stable
Some quick debugging revealed that this might be due to EFI permission related issues, as below:
This issue is tracked here.
Thanks!
