[SOLVED] Troubleshooting Qemu/KVM/Virt-Manager on Slackware64 14.2

Hi,

I just installed a complete KVM stack (Qemu, Libvirt, Virt-Manager) on Slackware64 14.2. Here's what I get when trying to create my first VM:

Code:

Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock': No such file or directory.

Any idea what's wrong?

I'll answer that myself, since I just found the culprit. A stale rc.libvirt from the previous version, which failed to start the corresponding services.

Cheers,

Niki
