ping. Martin you had suggested removing the socket file in one of the bugs, are you cool with this? Thanks, Cole On 04/11/2016 07:08 PM, Cole Robinson wrote:

This reverts commit 1e9808d3a1e00a7121bae8b163d9c42d441d2ca8.

We shouldn't advertise libvirtd.socket activation, since currently it means VM/network/... autostart won't work as expected.

We tried to find a middle ground by installing the config file without an [Install] section, since systemd won't allow .socket to be enabled without one... or at least it did do that; presently on f24 it allows activating the socket quite happily. This also caused user confusion[1]

Just remove the socket file. I've filed a new RFE to track coming up with a solution to the autostart problem[2], we can point users at that if there's more confusion:
