Recently libvirtd.service is not starting on boot. I have to manually start it with systemctl start libvirtd.
Do I need to put that command in a startup script?
libvirtd.service is socket activated, so it should run automatically when needed. Does something not work if you don't start it manually?
virt- manager starts but says it cannot connect to anything. I have six virtual machines I use for various purposes.
systemctl status libvirtd
shows disabled and dead. After starting it manually all machines are present.
Status then shows
systemctl status libvirtd ●libvirtd.service - libvirt legacy monolithic daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled; preset: disabled)
Thought
systemctl enable libvirtd
would change the preset notation but it didn't
It doesn't. That's the system preset. "enable" only changes the first enabled/disable option, but that overrides the preset, so it should be starting at boot if you've rebooted since changing that setting.
You can use "journalctl -b -u libvirtd" to find out what has happened.
Saw no indication that any setting had changed.
Nothing from the journal tells anything that I understand
