I made sure that I am in the correct group:

$ groups
users wheel networkmanager libvirtd docker

and that libvirtd is running:

okay i needed to run virt-manager for some reason, and follow the resolve step described here: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Virt-manager

is this an upstream issue?

It might be that no storage pools exist by default, until virt-manager creates one. Will have to look into it.

also used it to start the k8s network
