iptables is running, bridging and tun have been loaded as modules
iproute2 has now been installed but makes no odds. Not sure about brctl
as I can't find this?

Have started libvirtd and get the following
when trying to start virt-manager

Does mean something++++++
no connection driver
available for No connection for URI qemu:///system


The only log entry is:-
Jul  7 20:40:53 localhost /etc/init.d/libvirtd[8275]:
start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/libvirtd' Jul  7 20:40:53
localhost /etc/init.d/libvirtd[8264]: ERROR: libvirtd failed to star

Cannot see option to make this more verbose.
