Hi there,

Just installed KVM on my server without any xwindows system. Then ssh onto the server (with X11Forward on) and found virt-manager can't open display when I issue the command:

   sant...@pcge:~$ ssh -X r...@vmw01
   r...@vmw01's password:
   Last login: Mon Nov  8 15:51:39 2010 from pcge
   [r...@vmw01 ~]# virt-manager
   Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 376, in ?
        _show_startup_error(str(run_e), "".join(traceback.format_exc()))
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 52, in 
_show_startup_error
        import gtk
      File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 
76, in ?
        _init()
      File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 
64, in _init
        _gtk.init_check()
   RuntimeError: could not open display

Is it something I really expect to see? Why can't I import gtk (pygtk) module? Do I really need to run xwindows system on the server?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Cheers,
Santanu
