How To Install libvirt-daemon-system-sysv on Ubuntu 20.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libvirt-daemon-system-sysv on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is libvirt-daemon-system-sysv
libvirt-daemon-system-sysv is:
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). The library aims at providing a long term stable C API for different virtualization mechanisms. It currently supports QEMU, KVM, XEN, OpenVZ, LXC, and VirtualBox.
This package contains dependencies and init scripts to make libvirt work with sysv based init systems. Using libvirt-daemon-systemd is preferred since the init scripts are incomplete.
This package is useless without the libvirt-daemon-system package installed.
