Note to people messing around with opensuse tumbleweed that it doesn't use the legacy libvirtd service any more for KVM/QEMU virtualisation .

However to run the virt-machine manager as a normal user you still need to add your user to the libvirt group and edit the libvirt config file otherwise you have to give root password when creating / powering on VM's.

There's a huge junk of out of date documentation on the Net currently for some of these latest distros. PLEASE NEVER EVER USE REDDIT (caps intended) -- the probably most inaccurate, useless and obfuscating "technical" (that's a laugh for starters) site on the entire Internet.
