Nowadays with libvirt split daemons, libvirtd isn't required to be installed for a first run local connection to succeed, so we are needlessly blocking the app from 'just working' in many cases. Especially considering that many distros often have libvirt running out of the box due to gnome-boxes pulling it in. Drop the daemon checking entirely.

Virtual Machine Manager
virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM
virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well
supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.
Several command line tools are also provided:
virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machinesvirt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machinesvirt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:
./virt-manager --debug ...
