Warning : Failed to set up UEFI / The Libvirt version does not support UEFI / Install options are limited...

[Mario Marietto]

The real problem seems to be that the libvirtd process won't start :

marietto at chromarietto:~$ systemctl enable libvirtd

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-unit-files ====
Authentication is required to manage system service or unit files.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:
1.  linux
2.  mario,,, (marietto)
Choose identity to authenticate as (1-2): 2

marietto at chromarietto:~$ systemctl start libvirtd

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ====
Authentication is required to start 'libvirtd.service'.
Multiple identities can be used for authentication:

marietto at chromarietto:~$ systemctl status libvirtd

○ libvirtd.service - Virtualization daemon
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/local/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service; enabled;
preset: enabled)

(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Main PID: 3488 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

As you can see,it says "inactive". This is the reason :
