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."
what's the solution?

To avoid this issue with GNOME Boxes, I had to configure Guix System to add my user account to the libvirt group and enable the virtlog and libvirt system services as below.
(operating-system ... (users (append (list (user-account (name "me") (comment "Me") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("libvirt")))))) ... (services (append (list (service virtlog-service-type) (service libvirt-service-type (libvirt-configuration (unix-sock-group "libvirt")))))) ... ) My user account is also a member of the kvm group so I can use guix system vm. This may also be required for GNOME Boxes - I haven't tested without it.
These tips were given to me by liberdiko on Guix IRC.

- I confirm that adding
kvmtosupplementary-groupsand rebooting (even after restartinglibvirtdandvirtlogd) was necessary too. Also, I addedvirtualizationtouse-service-modulesdeclaration to makeguix system reconfigurerecognize those service types.Roman Riabenko– Roman Riabenko2022-02-12 22:07:09 +00:00Commented Feb 12, 2022 at 22:07
