Public bug reported: I was testing out libvirtd on Ubuntu 20.04
Actually testing out this - https://techviewleo.com/install- webvirtcloud-kvm-web-dashboard-on-ubuntu/ I get the error 16509 which I can replicate with this command # virsh -c qemu+tcp://host/system error: unable to connect to server at 'host:16509': Connection refused error: failed to connect to the hypervisor https://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirt_daemon_is_not_listening_on_tcp_ports_although_configured_to The libvirt systemd service starts the libvirt process with $libvirt_opts as a parameter to the executable. if I update the libvirtd config file /etc/default/libvirt # options passed to libvirtd, add "-l" to listen on tcp libvirtd_opts="-l -d" Adding any option in libvirtd_opts causes the service to fail on restart without the listener running on port 16509. Seems like the config behaviour changed since this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mos/+bug/1473569 was closed. ** Affects: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960937 Title: Libvirtd on 20.04 does not listen on port 16509 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1960937/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
