[SOLVED] Virt-Manager QEMU/KVM

25 October 2020, 03:32:31

I enabled everything in my BIOS/UEFI and I have installed the following packages and configured whatever (I'm tierd right now its been hours I followed a video/documentation). And Open RC doesn't see libvirtd daemon.

There are the packages I installed:

sudo pacman -S qemu ovmf virt-manager ebtables dnsmasq

When I try sudo rc-service libvirtd start, it returns:

* rc-service: service `libvirtd' does not exist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system.

Verify that the 'libvirtd' daemon is running.

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/python3.8/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 104, in openAuth
if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

If any1 can help I would really appreciate it.
For more info just ask, its been hours I can bearly alive its almoust 4 AM.

You need libvirt-openrc ; Packages do not include init with them, must be installed PKGNAME-init-service(openrc,runit,s6)
