Virt Manager: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtnetworkd-sock'

Since ~August 26th, I've been having issues running virt manager on the latest builds of Wayblue and other Bluebuild based systems. I get the warning

Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtnetworkd-sock'

Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtnetworkd-sock'

despite all of the appropriate packages being layered correctly and most of the advice I find online for other linux systems (changing the permissions of said file) seem to fail. Notably, my system is missing that file in both 08262024 (the non working image) and 08212024 (where virt manager is still working, as expected.)

Anybody have any advice for fixing this? Thanks to ostree I'm not pressed for time or anything, but it would be nice to have it working on newer operating system images.

Solution

Have you tried enabling virt-manager services?

systemctl enable virtnetworkd.socket virtstoraged.socket virtnodedevd.socket

systemctl start --now virtnetworkd.socket virtstoraged.socket virtnodedevd.socket

systemctl enable virtnetworkd.socket virtstoraged.socket virtnodedevd.socket

systemctl start --now virtnetworkd.socket virtstoraged.socket virtnodedevd.socket
