Description

I have gnome-boxes installed with rpm-ostree, and had a vm there with windows to diagnose my car. Recently this stopped working. I get this error everytime: libvirt: error : cannot limit core file size of process 3666 to 18446744073709551615: Operation not permitted. I've tried installing gnome-boxes through flatpak, aswall as trying with virtual-manager installed through ujust install-libvirt-packages, all these methods return this specific error. I searched a bit and found some information on how to 'fix' issues caused by this error, but realized i lack knowledge and didn't want to do something without fully understanding it, which could potentially 'compromise' the whole security model as why i use secureblue in the firtst place. Thanks for any help.

Reproduce

In my case trying to launch a vm with gnome-boxes or virt-manager

Expected

Being able to launch a vm again.

Actual

cannot limit core file size
