Qemu/Kvm not working

Trekkie00 · November 14, 2021, 9:01am

Today Qemu/Kvm refuses to work. Connection is refused.
Details in virt-manager show

Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system.

Stellen Sie sicher, dass der »libvirtd«-Dienst läuft.

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: Socket-Erstellung zu '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock' fehlgeschlagen: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt

Trying to start libvirtd manually fails. Obviously, everything connected to libvirt fails to start.

Any push in the right direction is appreciated.
I assume, one of the recent (last 2 days?) updates causes the problem. Maybe there is a known issue, I’m not aware of.

dalto · November 14, 2021, 10:29am

Is your user account in the libvirt group?

Trekkie00 · November 14, 2021, 11:00am

Yes. libvirt and kvm. It used to run flawlessly until maybe two days ago. I didn’t change anything in the setup.

Trekkie00 · November 14, 2021, 11:31am

I just tried, if downgrading systemd solves the issue (there has been a recent update). No luck with this one.

Just found out, which package contains this library. Already installed. Just testing and reporting.

Trekkie00 · November 14, 2021, 11:57am

Thanks for your effort. Problem solved.
Strange this is. I didn’t delete this package. Maybe dependencies changed. I have to have a look, when the last qemu/kvm update was and which requirements the packages ask for.

Trekkie00 · November 14, 2021, 12:01pm

Nothing was deleted. Just had a look at pacman history. Something changed. Trying to find out, what the problem is. Maybe it’s worth a bug report.

i do not have the package installed and i can run virtualmanager/qemu/gnomeboxes just fine … must be something you use in settings needing it?
