Bug Description
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.

That description is a bit vague. Maybe for someone familiar with libvirt it's enough, but can you please precisely describe the steps that you did and the output? Thanks!
Confirming, that is with init=/bin/systemd or systemd-sysv, not with booting with upstart (the only supported init system in Ubuntu right now)?
