http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197981 Bug ID: 1197981 Summary: virt-manager fails to start after fresh installation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.3 Hardware: 64bit OS: openSUSE Leap 15.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Tools Assignee: virt-bugs@suse.de Reporter: mv.jordan@gmx.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The error message after installation (of virt-manager) is the following: "Unable to connect to libvirt qemu://system. Verify that 'libvirtd' daemon is running." The steps to work around this problem is first install libvirt. Then start the daemon with systemctl. [Side note: in the current release of Leap, adding the root user to the group libvirt is no longer neccessary as it was until Leap 15.2 . It is still neccessary if I want to start virt-manager as non-root.] These steps should be part of the installation. Please fix the package dependencies and postinst scripts. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
