The default timeout is 2 minutes, not 2 hours. Regardless, virtlxcd should not
terminate when it is managing active "VMs". The timeout should be inhibited in
that case. I've stared at the inhibition code for quite some time and it looks
correct. I'll need to reproduce the issue myself and poke around with gdb.

In the meantime, you can override the timeout with 'systemctl edit --full
virtlxcd.service`, and remove the '--timeout 120' from VIRTLXCD_ARGS. This will
prevent the daemon from terminating. Can you check if your containers are fine
when virtlxcd is started without the timeout option?
