You have been subscribed to a public bug: I was unable to connect to libvirtd from my regular user account after upgrading to Utopic Unicorn.
The error from 'virsh list' was something about that libvirtd couldn't resolve my uid. "failed to find user record for uid" I think. Since I have all non-system users on LDAP remotely, I suspect that systemd and/or libvirtd was unable to a resolve my uid upon startup and didn't bother to check again. It might be a bug in libvirt-bin as well. I don't know. Tempfix: 'service libvirt-bin restart' and one should be able to connect again.
