Hi, I am new to Libvirt and Qemu.I have installed Libvirt 7.1.0 and qemu-kvm 4.2.0. I configured and built libvirt based on instructions from https://libvirt.org/compiling.html <https://libvirt.org/compiling.html>. But when i tried to create a VM using virsh it shows the following error: # virsh create /home/abc.xml error: Failed to create domain from /home/abc.xml error: invalid argument: could not find capabilities for arch=x86_64 domaintype=kvm
When i check the hypervisor capabilities ,it doest show qemu in guest domain type. # virsh capabilities .................................... ..................................... </host>
<guest> <os_type>exe</os_type> <arch name='x86_64'> <wordsize>64</wordsize> <emulator>/usr/local/libexec/libvirt_lxc</emulator> <domain type='lxc'/> </arch> </guest>

This smells suspicious. Perhaps you did not pass proper prefix (meson -Dsystem=true)? Anyway, libvirt tries to find qemu-system-$arch in $PATH and falls back to /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm if no binary was found. So I suspect that maybe the directory you installed QEMU into is not in $PATH? Michal
