Have you enabled the libvirtd service to run on systemstart? There was a change in the libvirtd-daemon package when it was updated to 9.1.0, the package was divided into several single packages. I got hit by the same issue and I had to re-enable to service to run automatically.
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
did it, thanks. Now virt-manager also requires root pwd, which I suppose is normal, but which it didn't before.
Should this be a part of launching VM i.e. to check if it's running and start it if not?
To configure for access as a normal user, see the "Configuration" section of: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Virt-Manager -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
