New comment by realcharmer on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/41397#issuecomment-1368536699 Comment: If you are trying to use libvirt as non-root user, install `polkit` as well and add your user to the `libvirt` group and relogin or reboot. This is probably your issue judging by the error message. Also make sure you have the following services enabled and/or running: - dbus - libvirtd - virtlockd - virtlogd
