Libvirtd will not run properly

Hi there,

So i'm setting up KVM via virt-manager, I've made the installs, i confirmed my computer is capable of virtualization, i added my normal user to libvirt group, ive scoured alot of different forums as to my issue and cant seem to find a solution.

I start virt-manager, i get this error:

Unable to connect to libvirt qemu:///system.

Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer

Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 923, in _do_open
    self._backend.open(cb, data)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/connection.py", line 153, in open
    conn = libvirt.openAuth(self._open_uri,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 147, in openAuth
    raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirt.libvirtError: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer

NOTE: i redacted my actual username cus im a security snob lol where (normal user) = my normal user username

systemctl status libvirtd returns this:

no idea what im doing at this point, this is my first time getting into KVM so sorry if this just some dumb small thing i missed.

Re: Libvirtd will not run properly

Please post:

pacman -Q |grep -E 'iptables|dnsmasq|linux|libvirt'
lsmod |grep kvm
cat /proc/version
grep -m1 name < /proc/cpuinfo
zgrep CONFIG_KVM /proc/config.gz
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 lscpu | grep Virtualization
