If you see connection or network errors when running virt-manager, REBOOT.
Error
starting network ‘default’: internal error: Child process (VIR_BRIDGE_NAME=virb0 /usr/bin/dnsmasq —conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf —leasefile-ro —dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseeshelper) unexpected exit status 2: dnsmasq: failed to create listening socket for 192.168.122.1: Address already in use
I gave up and installed gnome-boxes instead.
pamac install gnome-boxes
(I’m on KDE, and surprisingly this did not trigger a download of a bunch of unwanted Gnome packages!)
With Boxes, I was up and running with a virtualized Talos linux ISO right away. No errors, no lengthy configuration, no frustrating network incompatibilities.
