[libvirt-users] libvirtd not accepting connections

[Michael C. Cambria]

Hi,

Ever since I recently upgraded to Fedora 25, I can't get kvm working. 
It's worked on this system since initial fedora 20 install.  All 
upgrades were done via yum, then once available, dnf.

I do have libvirt-sock in LISTENING state:   STREAM     LISTENING 
/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock

I noticed I also have multiple connections in CONNECTING state:

STREAM     CONNECTING    0        /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
STREAM     CONNECTING    0        /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock
STREAM     CONNECTING    0        /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock

I rebooted and tried again.  Each e.g. 'virsh -c" or virt-manager 
command I issue, I end up with another socket in CONNECTING state. 
restarting libvirtd.service close them leaving just one LISTENING

strace for virsh -c shows:


4301  socket(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)   = 5
4301  connect(5, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, 
sun_path="/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock"}, 110) = 0
4301  getsockname(5, {sa_family=AF_UNIX}, [128->2]) = 0
4301  futex(0x7f3c0a2e4fc8, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
4301  fcntl(5, F_GETFD)                 = 0
4301  fcntl(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC)     = 0
4301  fcntl(5, F_GETFL)                 = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
4301  fcntl(5, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0

systemctl status libvirtd.service and journalctl -f -u libvirtd.service 
do not show any log entries for libvird after it has been started.  e.g. 
it doesn't log anything about the connection attempts.

Anyone have an idea where to look next?

Thanks,
MikeC
