Hi Gottfried,
is virtlogd running?

I am not sure how it is/was started, but it is running on my system.

#+begin_src sh
ck@beehive ~  $ ps -ef | grep virtlog
root       986     1  0 17:34 ?        00:00:00
/gnu/store/v53l9k5badh84mf6arhhk76f0pa6ly46-libvirt-8.6.0/sbin/virtlogd
- -f /gnu/store/7sd588q79rhdwvq8wypx5n2finsn8gsf-virtlogd.conf
#+end_src

PS: I too am German, so I understand.
PPS: I even use a Tuxedo too! Aura 15 Gen2, pretty happy with it (:
