Source path is always empty when picking host directories

Explain what happens

1. Install cockpit for ubuntu as defined in the official documentation.

2. Install cockpit-* to install additional features for storage, network, vm, etc.

3. Create a vm (any setting) with iso file located in host (error)
   

4. when step 3 fails, create vm by giving url for iso and create vm

5. share a directory from host to vm (error)

Update:
It seems a problem with current apt version, i was able to resolve the issue removing the current version and install latest:

sudo apt remove --purge cockpit-machines
sudo apt install -y cockpit-machines=303-1~bpo22.04.1

If the above version is not available, search the latest version with apt search '^cockpit-machines.*'
install, restart cockpit, the issue should be gone.

I downloaded the latest tar file from the releases tab. From there I ran tar xf (that file you downloaded) to extract it. Then I ran make install in the folder and voila (at least for me). I originally was using version 265 from apt.

Version: Ubuntu Latest.
