[SOLVED] No hypervisor options were found for this connection.

I recently moved from Ubuntu to Arch Linux. I had an Ubuntu installation on a computer which supports KVM. I installed libvirt and qemu packages on my current Arch installation and started libvirtd. When I connect using virt-manager I can't seems create new VMs. Virt manager says:

No hypervisor options were found for this connection.

I checked that KVM modules were loaded and that /dev/kvm exists. /dev/kvm was owned by group root, so I changed it to group kvm but that did not help.

I'm not sure what does the last line refer to

KVM:

Apperantly chowning /dev/kvm is not enough. I had to create a udev rule as specified here:

and reboot
