[SOLVED]Virt manager shows "Error: No active connection to install on"

When I try to open virt manager and I try to create a vm it shows a error - https://i.imgur.com/0C2U0XX.png

Doing a virsh net-list shows nothing which means there are no NAT adapters. Idk why and how the nat adapters got deleted.

[rounak@archissexy 11:34 ~]$ virsh net-list
 Name   State   Autostart   Persistent
----------------------------------------

[rounak@archissexy 11:34 ~]$ 

These are my network adapters -

[rounak@archissexy 11:36 ~]$ ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    inet 10.137.24.49/32 scope global wg-mullvad
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
[rounak@archissexy 11:36 ~]$ 

Can anyone help me to fix this problem ?
