[Bug 510658] Re: error : qemudWritePidFile:498 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists

[IAN DELANEY]

Would like to add, realise I'm a regular user, not technical advocate
like Arnd and Dustin Kirkland.

On my system,

idella at karmic:~$ sudo  /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
 * Restarting libvirt management daemon /usr/sbin/libvirtd                [fail] 
idella at karmic:~$ sudo libvirtd
15:42:25.008: error : qemudWritePidFile:457 : Failed to open pid file '/var/run/libvirtd.pid' : File exists
della at karmic:~$ ls /var/run/
                ....................
lktapctrl.pid          libvirtd.pid            udev-configure-printer
           ...........................
idella at karmic:~$ sudo rm /var/run/libvirtd.pid
idella at karmic:~$ sudo  /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin restart
 * Restarting libvirt management daemon /usr/sbin/libvirtd                [ OK ] 

On previous searching, I found this in place in another distro,  ?? arch
linux.  So not new for ubuntu.
