** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
  
  The default kvm installation does not work out of the box, instead
  throwing this message when starting virt-manager, which doesn't help
  much:
  
  Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.
  
  Libvirt URI is: qemu:///system
  
  Verify that:
-  - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
-  - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
-  - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group
+  - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
+  - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
+  - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group
  
  The message should at least propose to logout / login to complete the
  installation, or the installation post-install scripts should warn /
  force this. Ideally this should not be necessary so we have the best
  user experience.
+ 
+ The need to login/logout is mentioned in the installation docs FWIW, but surely this can be improved:
