Testing Host=virt-manager/libvirt/Fedora40 client=Fedora40 fails to login
I have a fedora40 in fedora40 virtual desktop using libvirt. The install method was
sudo sed -i '/SELINUX/s/.*/SELINUX=Permissive/g' /etc/selinux/config
sudo setenforce Permissive
dnf copr enable ryanabx/cosmic-epoch
dnf install cosmic-desktop
I have also chosen the gdm3 greeter not the cosmic greeter (as they say it is unstable. the Machine Emulator is arch="x86_64" machine="pc-q35-8.1" does anybody know what config is required? Alternatively I'd home to know a virtualisation platform/config that is developers are having success with.
Unfortunately I'm failing to get a desktop, as it crashes constantly the following is the error/warning output from login:

Jul 19 20:22:12 fedora40 cosmic-session[1837]: could not read cache file
I'm using qemu/kvm and using the cosmic greeter (which looks great!) and am not having any issues. I thought the main issue was having selinux set to permissive (or disabled), but you've done that. It looks like you may be having some permission issues from what I see in the error log.
Edit: you could also try installing quickemu and running it there. I also have it setup that way and it's very quick and convenient.
I discovered it was an issue with the Video requiring QXL option too. It is now working. But should go with installation platform documentation.
