Restarted libvirt to listen at tcp
$ sudo /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin stop
[sudo] password for fluent:
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service libvirt-bin stop

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop libvirt-bin
libvirt-bin stop/waiting
$ sudo libvirtd -d --listen



Now am getting this error :

libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: Failed to start SASL negotiation: -4 (SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found)
