While following:

There is a problem adding myself to the libvirt group:

$sudo usermod -a -G libvirt $(whoami)
usermod: group 'libvirt' does not exist

But trying to add group failed

$sudo groupadd --system libvirt
groupadd: group 'libvirt' already exists

I can connect to the hypervisor, via virsh or virt-manager, just that need to type password.
