I just had the same symptoms after upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 OpenStack Mitaka cluster packages to latest. Some servers had no problems. Very few had the "Failed to connect socket" error when you try to e.g. 'virsh list --all'. Note that libvirtd itself did start, and had no apparent errors. Package reinstall did not work, all suggestions above did not work. I then tried manually running libvirt with
libvirtd -l It did start fine, and there was no error connecting to domain this time. After that I stopped it and started the service usual way. No error this time as well. Sorry for not providing more details for package versions etc, putting it here as another possible workaround for reference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1583009 Title: Error starting domain since update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1583009/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
