I need to create a bridge on Virtual Machine Manager.

I installed GNOME Boxes and I ran Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It works fine without bridge checked, but when I open VC in Virtual Machine Manager → Open → NIC, set Bridge mode and click Run, I get this error:

Error starting domain: 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 158-159: invalid continuation byte

Traceback (most recent call last):

    err = libvirtmod.virGetLastError()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode bytes in position 158-159: invalid continuation byte

Please help me solve this issue.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
