[SOLVED] Virt-manager and viewer crash at certain points

So I'm pretty nooby when it comes to QEMU/KVM. I installed libvirt, and I installed a Kali VM. Now I am trying to use the VM but I get crashes (not really random) at specific points. First crash happens right after grub, but the VM continues running even though the viewer and virt-manager disappear. I reopen virt-manager and open the VM, and now I enter my login information. Again it crashed, but the VM continues chugging. It continues to work from there.

The log in journalctl around the time of a crash is here:

Also, is it normal to have to always sudo to open virt-manager. If I don't sudo, I can't create machines, and I cant see created machines. I am part of the wheel group.

Trying to fix it I added myself to libvirt but forgot to logout and log back in to make it official. It is working now.
