Worked like a charm fellas thanks, guess I should have checked that myself first lol. Happy to say virt-manager works like a charm now! Thank you everyone so much! And Ponce you truly saved the day brother, thank you.
If anyone is reading this as a reference to install virt-manager I found one more pretty important dependency, "usbredir", it's an optional requirement for qemu so you can use a virtual machine like in vmware or vbox, in other words without it you cant even see the vm, the screen wont work and you can't connect any usb devices to it either.
If you were like me and didn't compile it in during the initial setup unfortunately I had to not only "reinstall" qemu but the entire build queue for virt-manager so make sure you use that package too, if it's installed the slackbuild for qemu will auto detect it and compile support for into qemu and whatever else requires it (virt-manager maybe idk?).
so this should be the build queue now for virt-manager and don't forget to uninstall slackware's netcat package nc:
virt-manager slackbuild dependency problem slackware 14.1 multilib
I'm coming into this nearly two years later, and have been all over the place looking for pointers, as I have been unable to get the KVM running on Slackware 14.1
until some time ago libcacard was a stand-alone library but it has since some time included in qemu.
the only thing libcacard is needed as stand-alone is as a dependency for spice to enable smartcard support in it: this, now that libcacard is included in qemu, introduces a circular dependency problem as explained in spice's README.
but one can also avoid the circular dependency completely giving up to smartcart support in spice (never used it at all, so it's not a big deal).
note also that as qemu is an optional libvirt dependency is not listed in the above queue Didier posted so, if you want a full featured qemu-kvm/libvirt setup, you have to edit the sbopkg queue above like
Thanks for the update on libcacard being folded into qemu.
Thanks, also, for the information on: sbopkg, sbotools, and sbopkg/sqg. I'll read up on the discussion here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/sbopkg-sqg-vs-sbotools-4175558491/
