Hello,
I just upgraded some of my el6xen boxes to latest CentOS 6.7, Xen 4.4.3 and dom0 3.18.17 rpms, and noticed these new problems:
- virt-manager fails to start with an error: "D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory"
And indeed.. there was no such file. Running command "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" fixed it, and virt-manager starts OK after that. So this was more for the mailinglist archives, if someone else meets the same issue.
That's a bit strange -- maybe there was a post-processing thing added to 6.7 that does this, which my package lacks. I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.
(Or let me know and I'll post the virt-manager source so you can look at it and maybe send a pull request!)
- virt-viewer doesn't work anymore.
It seems in el6.6 virt-viewer was version 0.6.0-11, but now in el6.7 it's 2.0-7, with a lot of changes..
If I try to use virt-viewer and run "virt-viewer <testvm>" command, I get an error popup dialog saying "Failed to connect: Display can only be attached through libvirt with --attach".
verbose debug output:

Searching around, it looks like the error above is pretty common as a first try, but that usually fall-backs are attempted which then succeed. The normal thing following "After open connection callback fd=-1" is "DEBUG: Opening direct TCP connection to display at 127.0.0.1:5901:-1".
Can you try virt-viewer -v --debug on 6.6 to see what things look like there?
