Hello again, The two patches attached create the cgroup directory needed and remove the warning for the ip binary missing. Still the following errors are emitted to the log. --------------------8<------------------- error : virConnectGetCPUModelNames:1109 : this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectGetCPUModelNames error : virConnectGetAllDomainStats:11705 : this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectGetAllDomainStats error : virCgroupSetValueRaw:473 : Unable to write to '/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/machine/qemu-1-Guix.libvirt-qemu/tasks': No such file or directory error : virCgroupRemoveRecursively:2383 : Unable to remove /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/machine/qemu-1-Guix.libvirt-qemu/ (16) -------------------->8------------------- The last two may indicate there may be lurking another bug in the cgroups configuration, but at least the machines can be created and started/stopped seamlessly. What do you think? Happy hacking! Miguel
