Thanks Andrea,
Yes I confirm to you that I have enabled libvirt as well.
I don't see any error right now but I have to investigate a little bit more.
My guests are in autostart in virsh so everything is fine on this, the
only issue I got is in case of shutdown.
The strange thing is that sometimes libvirt-guests is up and running
sometimes failed...
I'm trying to track this down, but 1) I can't reproduce it
on my setup and 2) it doesn't make any sense :)
It's almost as if libvirtd.service would be started during
boot, but not every single time. Except you always have it
running after boot, right?
And After=libvirtd.service tells systemd *exactly* to wait
until libvirtd has started before starting libvirt-guests,
so the situation you apparently find yourself in should
never, ever happen, barring a systemd bug.
Since you're running an Arch variant, I'm going to assume
all your software is basically at the latest version all
around, isn't it?
just for info this is my libvirt-guests.service (by default)
[Unit]
Description=Suspend Active Libvirt Guests
After=network.target libvirtd.service time-sync.target
Documentation=man:libvirtd(8)
Documentation=http://libvirt.org
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/conf.d/libvirt-guests
# Hack just call traditional service until we factor
# out the code
ExecStart=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests.sh stop
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
StandardOutput=journal+console

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Can you try adding
[Unit]
Requires=libvirtd.service
to your libvirt-guests.service via 'systemctl edit' and
see if it helps? I don't think it should be needed for your
use case, but it's probably a good idea to have it there
anyways.
