After a few days of installing and removing libvirt, virt-manager and a few others to get VT-d working with a virtual machine, I finally got the latest virt-manager and libvirt installed from source to get the most recent versions. However, when I start up virt-manager I get a popup saying "Unable to connect to libvirt; Verify that the 'libvirtd' deamon is running.". When running "service libvirtd start", I get an error saying libvirtd.service cannot be found. I can, however, use libvirtd from the command line. The service file does not exist in /lib/systemd/system/.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443046049229_5369" dir="ltr"><br id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443046049229_5769"></div><div
