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.
 File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 285, in main
   raise RuntimeError(_("Unable to initialize GTK: %s") % gtk_error)
RuntimeError: Kann GTK nicht initialisieren: could not open display

maybe its the X11DisplayOffset 10  in the sshd.config ?

marko

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.
