virt-manager issue

[mmanjrekar]

Hi,

i have installed minimal Centos 5.4 with XEN
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-164.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 04:03:03 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Now when i try to start virt-manager i get the following error:-

# 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()))

gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5
gtk2-2.10.4-20.el5
pygtk2-2.10.1-12.el5

any clue why it may be happening?

hey .... it was a silly mistake .... all i had to do was "ssh -X " .... anyways i wasn't aware that it has a GUI dependancy. do we have anything similar on command line?
