When you choose a efi firmware from within virtual machine manager I
get the error: libvirtError: internal error: process exited while

Within Virtual Machine Manager I've created a SSH connection to a
remote QEMU host. I've then tried to create a new virtual machine
through the wizard:
- New VM Window
- Select 'Local install Media (ISO image or CDROM)' and press 'Forward'
- I chose a debian stretch r3 installer image 'Use ISO Image'
- On this page under then the dropdown against 'OS Type' I chose Linux
- On this page under then the dropdown against 'Version' I chose
Debian Stretch
- click forward
- click 'Forward'
- click 'Forward'
- Select ' Customise configuration before install'
- Under Network selection I chose my second network card and the
'source mode' was 'Bridge'
- click 'Finish'
- In the new popup under overview choose 'UEFI aarch64:
/usr/share/AAVMF/AAVMF_CODE.fd'
- Click 'Apply'
- Click 'Begin Installation'
- And view the error:
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while
