Hey guys, I know this has been closed a while, but was still getting the error when trying to start a VM in Lucid RC:
libvirtError: monitor socket did not show up.: Connection refused

When I updated my file and rebooted I'm now getting:
Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu:///system':
unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 896, in _try_open
    None], flags)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 111, in openAuth
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

I uninstalled libvirt0 (and everything that depended on it) and then re-installed ubuntu-virt-server and ubuntu-virt-mgmt and now I'm back to the first error (Connection refused).

I'm using a fakeraid array with /dev/mapper. Could this be causing this?
