I am using virt-manager and whenever I try to connect to QEMU/KVM I get

Hi Padaru,
Please use the code tags for your output.
Also, there seems to be a file syntax error at /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf at line 19. Can you post your conf or take a look and try again?

well - given my libvirt.conf is unmodified and only 18 lines this reads like you added a new line and likely made a typo
as frank already mentioned please check or post your config - and please use code tags (and edit your posts in that regard)

I copied this conf because I thought I didn't have the default conf, the conf I got when I installed libvirt was just comments but I don't have that conf anymore.

Please don’t use random configs you find online. That’s a recipe for disaster.
Just grab the default in your system or pull the tarball and look.
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libvirt/
If you see the contents, it’ll show you where the default conf is. Hope that helps!

Thank you! I'll just make my own conf.
