Hi all,
I am having an issue using virt-manager on GuixSD. I have libvirt and
virt-manager installed, and am starting the libvirtd service using my
configuration file. However, regardless of whether or not I start
virt-manager as root or normal privileges, I am getting a "checking for
virtualization packages..." note with an error of "No active connection
to install on." libvirtd and virtlogd are properly started as far as I
can tell by queurying the herd. Here is my relevant configuration.
(users (cons (user-account
(name "brettg")
(comment "Brett Gilio")
(group "users")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
"audio" "video"
"libvirt"))
(home-directory "/home/brettg"))
%base-user-accounts))
(packages (cons* nss-certs ;for HTTPS access
gvfs ;for user mounts
libvirt
%base-packages))
(services (cons* (service gnome-desktop-service-type
(gnome-desktop-configuration
(inherit config)
(gnome-package gnome-custom)))
(service libvirt-service-type)
(service virtlog-service-type)
(service gdm-service-type)
(filter (lambda (x)
(not (eq? (service-kind x) slim-service-type)))
%desktop-services)))

I've been having this issue as well on my machine. I'm pretty sure it's
more a case of virt-manager not saving the qemu locations; when I add a
new location of "this machine" suddenly all the VMs from my machine
repopulate. Then when I close it an open it again I get the same
behavior.

Does it work when you run virt-manager as root? My configuration looks
like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(users ...
(supplementary-groups '("libvirt" ...))
...)
[...]
(services ...)
(service libvirt-service-type
(libvirt-configuration
(unix-sock-group "libvirt")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And virt-manager is able to connect as my unprivileged user.

Hi,
See commit 4dc17cd54e86dbd71d26b87138660d42e8f615a9 ("services: libvirt:
Change unix-sock-group default.") which changed the group from "root" to
"libvirt".
It should now work without configuring the unix-sock-group, assuming
you're user is part of the 'libvirt' supplementary group. I've
clarified the doc about this in b69bdcf77f.
Closing.
