Hi all of you libvirtd daemon is unable to start. The Virt – manager gives the following error.
"Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu:///system': unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: No such file or directory"
I need to know what to do now that i cannot change anything in this configuration and I don't have the technical skills to handle the issue but I simply know that you are there looking and going to react promptly.
Thanks this image represent the error.

Hello Vincer,Â
I have read about your problem. As the error message shows, the problem is on "libvirtd daemon" that it is not started. Here are a couple of methods which you can try.Â
Hope this first method itself will fix it.
Or you can try this to start the "libvirtd daemon".  See the image attached
-
Follow this path: Open YAST > System > System Services (runlevel)
There you will be able to see "libvirtd" under services. Mark it as an enable service.
Hope you will find this useful.
