I've tried the fix from this issue with no success: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/14721

There are many vague "libvirt isn't working on musl" issues on the internet, but its difficult to identify which ones might be relevant

Hey, could you start virt-manager from a terminal so you can see that stdout which gets produced by virt-manager?

This could be helpful to understand what might cause the connection issue.

Comment:
When I tried it again to collect logs, it mysteriously worked, despite not having changed anything for several days.

The same day that I submitted this ticked, I followed some troubleshooting as suggested on IRC. 

I tried disabling the libvirtd service, and instead enabling:

- virtlockd
- virtlogd
- virtqemud
- virtstoraged
- virtnetworkd
- virtinterfaced
- virtnodedevd
- virtnwfilterd
- virtsecretd

Initially this did not work, even after several reboots.

Also tried using gnome-boxes, both the void package and flatpak, neither of them worked.

Attaching logs for future reference. [virt-manager.log](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/files/13928917/virt-manager.log)

Will close this ticket for now, and it appears to be working.
