Hi Christian, databunka ~ # echo $DISPLAY localhost:10.0 Thats shown when i do echo $DISPLAY on the machine. when i connect from a remote system with ' ssh -Y root@....' the virt-manager pop up like it should. the problem was only when i sit infront of the machine, logged in as user 'root'. my thought was that something is wrong with gtk or so , because of the error message. maybe its the X11DisplayOffset 10 in the sshd.config ? marko Am 18.01.2012 10:15, schrieb Christian Parpart: > On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 6:01 AM, Marko Weber > <weber(a)zackbummfertig.de&gt; wrote: >> >> getting this when starting virt-manager >> >> databunka src # virt-manager >> Traceback (most recent call last): >>  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 383, in >> <module> >>    main() >> >> i already remerged gtk > > Hi Marko, > > make sure you have the DISPLAY variable exported to root as I asume > you've been > logged in as user but then dropped privileges up to root and maybe > your user > environment wasn't inherited from within your X session. > > # echo $DISPLAY > :0 > > So long, > Christian Parpart.
