You shouldn't need to use virtual machine manager to start libvirtd. It should run at boot (if enabled) and start up any VMs that are set for starting at boot. I haven't had any issues with that, although all my VM hosts were installed a long time ago and only upgraded. I haven't tried setting it up on a recently installed system, so maybe something has changed.
