Answer 1

1) virt-manager process needs to restarted. To find the virt-manager process, ps aux command has to be used. ps command is not showing the required process list.

ps aux | grep virt

2) Terminate all the virt-manager process listed with kill command

3) Restart libvirtd service

systemctl start libvirtd
