I am trying now to setup a virtual machine using xen. Whenever I run virt-install I get the following error:
EN61121-suse:/usr/src # virt-install
ERROR Failed to connect socket to ‘/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock’: No such file or directory
From what I was able to find, this is because libvirtd is not running. However trying to run libvirtd returns this:
EN61121-suse:/usr/src # libvirtd
2014-06-25 10:46:22.982+0000: 7188: info : libvirt version: 1.2.5

I tried searching for more info on this but there isn’t much I can find other than the fact that the root user is supposed to be part of a group called libvirtd which I cannot find.
Hello and welcome to the openSUSE forums.
Whenever you post in these forums, you need to provide basic information about your system as follows…
Need to know
What is your HostOS
One way you can display the result of the following
uname -a
What is your Desktop (if you are running one)
How did you install Xen and libvirt (from where)
If you don’t know and you are running on a recent version of openSUSE, you can obtain the information from “zypper info” eg the following
Sorry for the lack of details the first time:). I am running OpenSuSE 13.1 on an HP Compaq 8300. i5@3.2 Ghz with onboard graphic chipset. The kernel is the default xen kernel from the repos and xen was also installed from there. I am running KDE 4.13.2
