Hi Daniel, I download libvirt 2.5.0 source codes and install them as following steps. $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc $ make $ sudo make install However, the libvirtd is not started as a service daemon. $ initctl stop libvirt-bin initctl: Unknown job: libvirt-bin Is libvirtd started as a service daemon by default after 'make install'? Or I need to start it manually. Is there any doc to make libvirtd as a service daemon, which is located at '/etc/init.d/libvirtd' for debian? My distro version is > lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: LinuxMint Description: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Release: 17.2 Codename: rafaela The same as Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty.
