Hi Marcela,

When you start the libvirt daemon from the command line, it keeps in the foreground, without going back to a shell prompt.

ie:

$ sudo./libvirtd
(various messages print out here, but libvirtd doesn't exit)

Since the libvirt daemon has effectively taken over that terminal session, if I start another terminal session, I can generally use virsh to connect to it.

Have you tried that? Starting a new terminal session while libvirtd is running, and then using virsh or virt-manager or something.

?

Regards and best wishes,
