QEMU/KVM+Virt-Manager missing directories

When I try to connect QEMU/KVM in virt-manager, I'm prompted w/ this
Code: [Select]
Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system.

Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': No such file or directory

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 923, in _do_open
    self._backend.open(cb, data)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/connection.py", line 171, in open
    conn = libvirt.openAuth(self._open_uri,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 147, in openAuth
    raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtqemud-sock': No such file or directory
Wondering what this may be related to, I'm clueless.

UPDATE: So, after doing running an -Syu and it failing I realized that I wiped my groups so after a facepalm and a usermod
the issue was resolve thanks again to gripped for highlighting my issue wasn't related to libguestfs

lesson learned: RE-READ THE DIALOG BOX
thanks for not being shitty
