Hi, The reason the error shows is because with apt-get your user is not added to the necessary group. this should somehow be handled within the install script. a logoff/login is then required to get that setting activated (though there should be another way in linux).
Hope this helps. the link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation ---QUOTE--- You need to ensure that your username is added to the group libvirtd: $ sudo adduser `id -un` libvirtd Adding user '<username>' to group 'libvirtd' ... After this, you need to relogin ... ---/QUOTE--- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/736844 Title: kvm default install throws "Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon" requires logout + login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/736844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
