Installation
NixOS
virtualisation.libvirtd.enable = true;
programs.dconf.enable = true;
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ virt-manager ];
You will get a warning when you open it for the first time
Could not detect a default hypervisor. Make sure the appropriate virtualization packages containing kvm, qemu, libvirt, etc. are installed and that libvirtd is running.
To resolve
File (in the menu bar) -> Add connection HyperVisor = QEMU/KVM Autoconnect = checkmark Connect
You can get the following error :
authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to authenticate action 'org.libvirt.unix.manage'
To resolve, add the user to the libvirtd group.
{
users.users.<myuser>.extraGroups = [ "libvirtd" ];
}
