virt-manager shows only lxc as option for regular user

I am trying to set up a kvm VM with virt-manager. When I open the application, I am only presented with the option for an lxc VM.

However, if I launch virt-manager with sudo, I am presented with the full qemu option.

My regular user is part of the kvm and libvirt groups.

You might need to go to File>Add Connection then connect to QEMU/KVM.
