ISO images are not recognized by Gnome Boxes

Describe the bug

Gnome Boxes does not create a machine from the ISO image. The error is thrown in the logs like:

(gnome-boxes:3): Boxes-WARNING **: 20:35:39.409: index-page.vala:177: Failed to create installer media for path 'MocaccinoOS-KDE-0.20220618.iso': Insufficient metadata on installation media

To Reproduce

Open Gnome Bioxes, issue , select the ISO image. Apparently nothing happens, no message (Gnome Boxes UI issue)

Expected behavior

The ISO is used, the OS detected, the image created.

Additional context

Looking here, shows it needs to add more parameterization to the luet-makeiso plugin and mode info here and here.

I have used this to set the volume id: ./isovolid.pl <file>.iso Mocaccino

isovolid.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
die "Use: $0 <iso_file> <new volume id>\n" unless @ARGV == 2;
open my $file, "+<", $ARGV[0] or die "Cannot open: $!";
seek $file, 0x8028,0;
printf $file "%-32.32s", uc($ARGV[1]);

As effect, Gnome Boxes already started to work with it. I would add system id and publisher id values too.

If we compare with what Fedora image has:

joost@xbox-360 /run/media/joost/data/iso $ isoinfo -d -i Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso 
Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale.

You can see that the Volume id is set. I think it would be enough if we can set this.

@msdobrescu can we close this?

[msdobrescu]

Although it works now, it is not fully implemented. I would not close it or I would add a new one to fully implement the details.
