Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 467886
virt-manager depends on dbus-x11
Last modified: 2013-01-09 23:51:46 EST
Description of problem: If dbus-x11 is not installed, virt-manager will throw up a cryptic error suggesting that TCP/IP networking is disabled, and direct the user to gconf documentation, which doesn't make it obvious that dbus-x11 needs to be installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.6.0-2.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a minimal F10-Snap2 system, with virt-manager but no X or Gnome 2. ssh -X root@system from a system running X 3. Attempt to run virt-manager Actual results: A GUI window pops up with a hilariously wrong error message and suggests that the user consult documentation that is unrelated to the real problem. Expected results: virt-manager pulls in dbus-x11 automatically as a dependency Additional info: Fix is trivial, but the bug is rather baffling to the non-expert, particularly due to the error message.
Thanks, fixed upstream: http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=b9a48b071acb I'll pull this in for rawhide.
Verified the build done in koji.
