Then this is a bug. On my system, ~/.libvirt does not even exist, and:

[1/498]mh at fan:~$ virsh
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh # sysinfo
error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor
error: no valid connection
error: Failed to connect socket to '@/home/mh/.libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused

virsh # exit


[2/499]mh at fan:~$ ls -al /home/mh/.libvirt/
ls: cannot access /home/mh/.libvirt/: No such file or directory
[3/500]mh at fan:~$

Greetings
Marc
