When I check status of libvirtd using the cmd: sudo systemctl status libvirtd the o/p is as follows:

    ● libvirtd.service - Virtualization daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2021-07-22 18:00:59 EDT; 1min 4s ago

             https://libvirt.org
    Process: 1717 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/libvirtd $libvirtd_opts (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 1717 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Jul 22 18:00:59 eb2-2259-lin04 systemd[1]: libvirtd.service: Succeeded.

The status is always inactive(dead). And I get lines invalid argument: Failed to parse user 'libvirt-qemu' , Initialization of QEMU state driver failed: invalid argument: Failed to parse user 'libvirt-qemu' and Driver state initialization failed

I also tried sudo systemctl start libvirtd and sudo systemctl status libvirtd but the issue doesn't get resolved.

I was actually installing KVM2 driver for GPU support within minikube following the link [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation][1]. According to the link KVM2 is successfully installed in Ubuntu if virsh list --all cmd does not return an error. For me all the steps returned no error except for the virsh list --all returned the following error.

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer

and sometimes returns the following error

error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused

When I start minikube with kvm2 as the driver using the command minikube start --driver kvm2I get the following error

   minikube v1.15.1 on Ubuntu 20.04

  Exiting due to GUEST_DRIVER_MISMATCH: The existing "minikube" cluster was created using the "virtualbox" driver, which is incompatible with requested "kvm2" driver.
  Suggestion: Delete the existing 'minikube' cluster using: 'minikube delete', or start the existing 'minikube' cluster using: 'minikube start --driver=virtualbox'

Please suggest me how to start minikube with kvm2 as driver.

The error states:

Jul 22 18:00:59 eb2-2259-lin04 libvirtd[1717]: invalid argument: Failed to parse user 'libvirt-qemu'

Create the user libvirt-qemu, create the groups libvirt-qemu, libvirt, and libvirtd. Add the user libvirt-qemu to the group libvirt-qemu.

This is a soft-fix. For more details please refer this link
