HOST does not support any virtualization options (virt-manager + qemu/kvm)

I started up virt-manager as I have in the past and when I went to install a new virtual machine, I was stopped by an error saying that no hypervisor options were available for that connection.
I restarted the libvirtd service and then restarted virt-manager and got the same error. After rebooting I also go the same error.

I then consulted a thread that helped me part of the way but the reason for the original error was different and that trail went cold.
I tried
Code: [Select]
modprobe kvm
and restarted the libvirtd and virt-manager to no avail.
Code: [Select]
[me@host ~]$ virt-install
