I found that answer you were looking for.

 

Putting this error into duckduckgo reveals two common error sources, and this thread is the second result.

 

In regards to this error with virtual machines, the common answer is just a host reboot. This was my solution.

Arch source OP believes suspending the host regularly led to the error. It's also theorized updating without rebooting caused it.

Another thread in this forum 👀 (I know, solution was posted after yours)

 

 

However, this error has also appeared in relation to general virtual networking. These appear more involved than a power cycle, being a configuration or permission issue.
