I tried creating a virtual machine vith KVM.

In the Virtual Machine Manager, after creating a new connection I am
getting the following error

Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Verify that:

  • The ‘libvirtd’ daemon has been started

Details:
Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI ‘qemu:///session’:
<class ‘libvirt.libvirtError’> virConnectOpenReadOnly() failed
authentication failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

Not sure if there is support for that yet. Howerver, it doesn’t look
like your libvirtd is running.

try libvirtd -d
