Does anyone know if this an issue with Trisquel or one with Skulls/Coreboot?

I was attempting to run GUIX SD in a virtual machine.
Thanks for any help you can provide! :)
I don't think the GTK warnings are your problem. I think it's this line: "CPU mode 'custom' for x86_64 kvm domain on x86_64 host is not supported by hypervisor"
It appears to be a problem with the user not having proper permissions to access /dev/kvm.
A Debian bug report from 2018 recommended adding the user to the 'kvm' group as a solution: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889990
A stackexchange user in 2019 granted his user proper permission through use of the chown and chmod commands: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/430066/cpu-mode-custom-for-x86-64-kvm-domain-on-x86-64-host-is-not-supported-by-hyper
