virt-manager can't connect to libvirt
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.2 32 bits.
The error doesn't show up if I start gksudo virt-manager
.
-
libvirt-bin
is installed. - I don't know how to check for the daemon.
- I am a member of
libvirtd
.
Output of ps ax | grep libvirt

Rebooting the system where virt-manager
is installed solved the issue.
After installing KVM, run this command then that error will not occur again.
sudo virt-manager
