Unable to start network for VM

I running bazzite:stable with a few added layers such as the virtualization stuff. When I try to start the default network from virtman or CLI
e.g.

sudo virsh net-start default

sudo virsh net-start default

i get

error: Failed to start network default
error: cannot create directory /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq: Permission denied

error: Failed to start network default
error: cannot create directory /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq: Permission denied

What's the recommended approach to get networking up and running ?

Solution

Also what do you get if you run

systemctl status libvirtd

systemctl status libvirtd

If it's not enabled you might need to start it's service

systemctl enable --now libvirtd

systemctl enable --now libvirtd
