I installed from usb stick a new install of Debian 12 about a week ago. I installed KVM/QEMU today and libvirt will not start:
output of sudo service libvirtd status;
I noticed that my /etc/passwd file does not have a user "swtpm" whereas my old ubuntu system did have this user. I do have packages swtpm and swtpm-tools installed and reinstalled. I have not been able to find and help on how to install this user. Any Help with this?
# User for the swtpm TPM Emulator
#
# Default is 'swtpm' as established by the swtpm-tools package.
#
# In the past this was 'tss' and that still would be the built-in default
# if nothing was configured here, but the 'tss' user also has TPM device
# access in the host which isn't needed for swtpm.
#
#swtpm_user = "swtpm"
#swtpm_group = "swtpm"
[..]
# User for the swtpm TPM Emulator
#
# Default is 'tss'; this is the same user that tcsd (TrouSerS) installs
# and uses; alternative is 'root'
#
#swtpm_user = "tss"
#swtpm_group = "tss"
[..]
This is also the case in my Debian Bookworm (12.5) installation.
So why were they enabled in your configuration?
By the way, please, mark the discussion as "solved" manually adding the text tag "[Solved]" at the beginning of the subject of the first message; i.e. :
[Solved] libvirt will not start with Debian 12 (swtpm issue)
Happy Debian !
