NOte: I start with virt-manager from fc14, updated to the rawhide to see if that would make a difference. Same effect either way. Can now start virt-manager If I'm in a root shell I get the above error. If I start virt-manager as non-root it can't talk to my libvirtd... However the following works: sudo virt-manager And virt-manager successfully starts. I assume you used 'su' to switch to root rather than 'su -'. The former will prevent all GTK apps from running AFAIK. Closing as NOTABUG |
