Hi Guixers, I installed a VM software and I added libvirt and virtualization in my config.scm file (see below) --------------------------------------------------------------------- (use-modules (gnu)) (use-package-modules cups scanner) (use-service-modules cups desktop networking ssh xorg virtualization) (operating-system (locale "de_DE.utf8") (timezone "Europe/Berlin") (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "de")) (host-name "Tuxedo") (users (cons* (user-account (name "gfp") (comment "Gfp") (group "users") (home-directory "/home/gfp") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video"))) %base-user-accounts)) (packages (append (list (specification->package "nss-certs")) %base-packages)) (services (append (list (service mate-desktop-service-type) (service enlightenment-desktop-service-type) (service cups-service-type (cups-configuration (web-interface? #t) (extensions (list cups-filters hplip)))) (service openssh-service-type) (service tor-service-type) (set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) (service libvirt-service-type (libvirt-configuration (unix-sock-group "libvirt") (tls-port "16555")))) (modify-services %desktop-services (guix-service-type config => (guix-configuration (inherit config) (extra-options (list "--gc-keep-derivations=yes" "--gc-keep-outputs=yes")))) (sane-service-type _ => sane-backends)))) ---------------------------------------------------------- Now, when I open the "Virtual Machine Manager" and want to set it up there is this message: Virtual Machine Manager: Fehler bei der Verbindung mit der virtuellen Maschine/ Error connecting to virtual machine ---------------------------------------------------------- If I want to add a connection: QEMU/KVM Connect -- I press the button:connect Then it says: Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system. Stellen Sie sicher, dass der »libvirtd«-Dienst läuft/ Make sure that the libvirtd service is running Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system Traceback (most recent call last): File "/gnu/store/n3gyjzsylh2abc3ykxz9kf5335azgacr-virt-manager-3.2.0/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 922, in _do_open self._backend.open(cb, data) File "/gnu/store/n3gyjzsylh2abc3ykxz9kf5335azgacr-virt-manager-3.2.0/share/virt-manager/virtinst/connection.py", line 153, in open conn = libvirt.openAuth(self._open_uri, File "/gnu/store/anh3nz3qr46f0ds5i1pswisrc9s3cf3f-python-libvirt-8.6.0/lib/python3.9/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 147, in openAuth raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: Socket-Erstellung zu '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock' fehlgeschlagen: Keine Berechtigung/no authorization ------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems I don't have the rights to start libvirt. How can I now solve the problem? Any thoughts? Gottfried
