Answer

To completely uninstall virt-manager and related components on MX23, then reinstall from scratch, follow these steps:

Uninstall virt-manager and related packages:

bashsudoapt-get remove --purge virt-manager libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon-system qemu-kvm

Remove any remaining configuration files:

bashsudorm -rf ~/.config/libvirt
sudorm -rf /etc/libvirt
sudorm -rf /var/lib/libvirt

Remove any remaining KVM-related files:

bashsudorm -rf /etc/kvm
sudorm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/45-kvm.rules

Stop and disable the libvirtd service:

bashsudo systemctl stop libvirtd
sudo systemctl disable libvirtd

Update the package list:

bashsudoapt update

Reinstall virt-manager and necessary components:

bashsudoaptinstall virt-manager qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils

Enable and start the libvirtd service:

bashsudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd

Add your user to the libvirt group:

bashsudousermod -aG libvirt $USER

Reboot your system to ensure all changes take effect:

bashsudoreboot

After rebooting, launch virt-manager and check if the network issues are resolved. If problems persist, you may need to configure your network settings within virt-manager or troubleshoot your system's network configuration1^[1]^[2].
