      Hi everyone. I got this error when i try to add connection.

      Unable to connect to libvirt qemu+ssh://[email protected]/system.

      End of file while reading data: nc: unix connect failed: No such file or directory
      nc: /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock: No such file or directory: Input/output error

      Verify that the 'libvirtd' daemon is running on the remote host.

      Hope anyone could help me here. I am kinda new to wsl or even linux base.

      Thanks.

        does your user chipprel have access? make that user a member of the libvrt group

        sudo gpasswd -a chipprel libvrt

              Is the daemon running?

              sudo systemctl status libvirtd

                  You run that command on your KVM server.

                        That's not possible. Windows 10 is an operating system. All production hypervisors are Type-1 by definition so cannot run on top of an operating system.

                        KVM, Xen, Hyper-V, and ESXi are the four production Type-1 hypervisors and by definition they must run on bare metal, never on top of an OS.

                        OSes run on top of the hypervisor, not the other way around.

                          Just don't install Windows 10, install KVM instead. You are approaching the entire concept in an impossible way.

                            archlinux? parrot? ubuntu? any?

                              Fedora is probably the easiest. It's enabled by default.

                                Fedora is what we use when we want "vanilla" KVM.

                                  Can someone explain this? Running virt-manager by itself, add your connection, close virt-manager and re-open it. Its now blank. But if I specify the connection, it will remembers the connection after re-opening virt-manager.

                                  With virt-manager & only

                                    I have been thinking about doing this. I am currently using Proxmox. The only thing holding me back in a good backup solution for KVM.
