Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/634

Greetings, I'm new to linux servers management and I'm trying to install webvirtmgr on an ubuntu server 16.04 thats going to be used for hosting virtual machines. I have already followed the steps on the setup host server tutorial (https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/wiki/Setup-Host-Server) and now I'm trying to install the webvirtmgr but when I get to the Setup supervisor part (https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/wiki/Install-WebVirtMgr) and i run the command sudo service novnc stop I get the following error: "Failed to stop novnc.service: Unit novnc.service not loaded". In the guide says that by now I should be able to access WebVirtMgr by typing localhost:8000 but is not working.

I have the same issue. Same ubuntu server version and the same guide

but I guess we can ignore the error because what the installation guide step is to disable auto start of novnc from init.d

I somehow managed to resolve it. Doesn't recall how though.
