1. I think this is absolutely the right list for your issue

2. is it really blank? or something like

??? Connected to domain '[domain]'
??? Escape character is ^] (Ctrl + ])

3. If I am not mistaken the guest needs to be configured in a certain
way for virsh console [domain] to work. I can't say how though
