I am trying to setup a GPU passthrough for KVM but I've been facing this egregious problem the whole time. Basically, it's telling me to verify whether libvirt is running or not.
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/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 148, in openAuth
raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused
When I check the status of libvirt, it indeed isn't active. But I couldn't myself a solution.
