 |
|
Hi all,
I wanted to try kvm and virt-manager for the first time so I grubbed a cup of tea, opened the wiki and installed everything.
The problem come out when I start virt-manager, I get an error "Unable to connect to libvirt", this is the extended version:
| Code: | Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system.
Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': File o directory non esistente
Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 922, in _do_open
self._backend.open(cb, data)
File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/connection.py", line 153, in open
conn = libvirt.openAuth(self._open_uri,
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 148, in openAuth
raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': File o directory non esistente |
"File o directory non esistente" is the Italian equivalent to "file or directory doesn't exist".
Any ideas of where I might have slipped?
Thank you :)

Pietrog,
Did you start the libvirtd service?

Try
| Code: |
usermod -aG libvirt <your-user>
|
in addition to Neddy's advice.

I start it manually with rc-service libvirtd start.
Can I add it to a the default runlevel to autostart it? |

If I recall correctly I've already added my user to the libvirt group, I'll check it when I'm at the pc again. |

After rebooting and logging back in it works now, probably I didn't refresh something, rookie mistake.
Thank you all. |

| Group membership is a per-process attribute. If you added your user account to the group, newly created login sessions would have the group. Shells that you started before the change would not have it. Rebooting forced you to close all your old shells, and all the new shells would pick up your change. |
