Virtual Machine Manager Connection Failure

Support Virtualization
1

Hey, I’m new to Linux and I recently installed the Pahvo build. I want to make Virtual Machines using KVM but I’m getting this error and I can’t find a working solution for me anywhere else. Here’s the Details.

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 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’: No such file or directory

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Virtualbox is easiest and the most recommended here. The following links may be of some help:
