virt-manager refuses to communicate with o. s.

When I try to connect the qemu/kvm thing it always throws an error shown in this picture: anyone else had this happen to them? Thank you so very much in advance for all of your help.

Did you install it to the host or to the container?

I installed it to the host since I was told that hypervisors are meant to be installed to the host

That's correct. It should be installed on the host. I am unfamiliar with qemu so I am unsure as to what is causing this.

(Sorry, I just realised I posted the wrong picture) And that’s when I run it as root, when I run it as standard user, I get the “permission denied” error

just google "qemu setup arch" and you'll find the edits you need to make

then add this to system.yaml:
services:
- 'libvirtd'
services:
- 'libvirtd'
.. you don't use systemctl to enable services this time

to start/stop them sure, but to enable them you use system.yaml

before doing the edits, add this to system.yaml:
commands:
- 'sudo usermod -a -G libvirt YOUR USERNAME'
commands:
- 'sudo usermod -a -G libvirt YOUR USERNAME'
then update your system then reboot then do the edits replace YOUR USERNAME with your username
