I just installed a new system and had KVM virtualization working just fine with libvirtd and virt-manager. I created two virtual machines and installed OS's (ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop).
I was playing around with wicd. I installed it as per the wiki page and rebooted. Wicd worked fine but suddenly I get the following error when trying to start either virtual machine:
Error starting domain: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/0
open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
failed to initialize KVM: Operation not permitted
I searched and searched and searched and can't find any conclusive reasons why this would be. I uninstalled everything related to wicd and switched back to the network daemon. Network connectivity works fine, but I get the exact same error with virt-manager.

Because /dev/kvm doesn't exist without the kvm module being probed. modprobe kvm and kvm-intel/amd.
Thank you! I had erroneously added the modules to the DAEMONS section of /etc/rc.conf instead of MODULES. I guess I hadn't needed to restart my server since first installing to have realized it. Thanks!
