But update libvirt between different versions often cause lots of problems since some new version add new daemons/features. If there is auto-config for different versions under different distroes, it will be better. Best, Weiwei Jia On Sat, Dec 31, 2016 at 4:35 PM, Weiwei Jia <harrynjit@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Daniel,

I download libvirt 2.5.0 source codes and install them as following steps.

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc $ make $ sudo make install

However, the libvirtd is not started as a service daemon.

$ initctl stop libvirt-bin initctl: Unknown job: libvirt-bin

Is libvirtd started as a service daemon by default after 'make install'? Or I need to start it manually. Is there any doc to make libvirtd as a service daemon, which is located at '/etc/init.d/libvirtd' for debian?

My distro version is

...

lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Release: 17.2 Codename: rafaela

The same as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty.

Thanks, Weiwei Jia

"libvirt-bin" is a Debian-ism (which I think is finally getting dropped soon). When building from source, the upstream name "libvirtd" is used instead. Try that.
