Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have Debian 11 installed with Flatpak
2. Install GNOME Boxes with `flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Boxes`
3. Run GNOME Boxes with `flatpak run org.gnome.Boxes`
4. Try to install some OS - click "+", select OS (*Debian 11 netinst* in my example), wait for download, wait for *New Virtual Machine* window to appear, try to click *Create*

Expected results - VM is created and runs well.

Actual results - unable to create VM, terminal shows the following text:
```
$ flatpak run org.gnome.Boxes
