Hi - Jeremy yes, not in qemu at least.
IMHO this is
a) a user configurable change (add user to kvm group) (so it isn't very high
severity)
b) a fix in older versions is limited to gnome-boxes which
It makes no sense to do (b) for qemu as it works without it just fine.
The latter changes I mentioned are even better as they also fix gnome-boxes in
newer Ubuntu versions (via the uaccess method in systemd 239-6 and later).
If it wants to add that we could do the suggested (very) old style "add
all sudo users to kvm group on install" in gnome-boxes postinst then at
least the fix would match the scope of the issue.
Thanks for pointing that out, let me properly mark the tasks to avoid
further confusion.

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.
