There's a newer version of gnome-boxes in Cauldron: https://mageia.pkgs.org/cauldron/mageia-core-release-x86_64/gnome-boxes-3.28.4-1.mga7.x86_64.rpm.html Try to rebuild the src.rpm and see if we have a possible fix.

That's likely b/c gnome-boxes wasn't linked against libusb, which I fixed in Cauldron: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/gnome-boxes/current/SPECS/gnome-boxes.spec?r1=1208864&r2=1208865

Nope, it looks like mga6 build does be linked with libusb even if not directly BR-ed
I'm not a specialist of building src.rpm packages but I try to rebuild Cauldron Boxes package. However it seems that some packages are required by gnome-boxes in Cauldron but not exist in Mageia 6. libosinfo-vala doesn't exist in Mageia 6. It requires osinfo-db which itself not exists in Mageia 6. And osinfo-db requires osinfo-dbtools which doesn't exist in Mageia 6. I build osinfo-db-tools-1.2.0-1 from Cauldron in Mageia 6 but it takes me some times to rebuild all necessary packages.
I try to rebuild the src.rpm from Cauldron. Unfortunately gtk+-3.0 version is too old on Mageia 6. It is 3.22.16 and gnome-boxes 3.28 and newer needs at least version 3.22.20.
This bug is still present in Mageia 7 and gnome-boxes-3.32.1-1. I have tried to delete gnome-boxes and reinstall it but my USB ports cannot be connected to my VM. Same thing happen with a Fedora 30 Workstation guest. I join the troubleshooting log of the Mageia-7 VM.
