Thanks for the clear video. Not really sure what's causing the problem here.

From the command line, can you show the output of

ps axwww | grep libvirt
service libvirtd status

As root, can you try

virsh --connect qemu:///system 

If that fails, does 'service libvirtd restart' as root make any difference?

Also, in the virt-manager UI, you can double click the 'qemu' row in the main screen to initiate connecting.
