I seem to be having the issue that virt-manager pulls in libguestfs, which in turn pulls in a lot of qemu stuff i do not need.

This is a “thin client” notebook setup that i use to connect to my hypervisor (virt-manager client only + TLS). So although i have virt-manager installed to connect to the hypervisor, i do not want to install most of all the other virtualization stuff.
I installed guestfs-browser from updates-testing in Fedora 15. I can’t get it to run. If I try to run it as a user I get:
[dowdle@scott ~]$ guestfs-browser
Fatal error: exception Not_found
If I try to run it as root I get:
[dowdle@scott ~]$ su –
Password:
[root@scott ~]# guestfs-browser
Fatal error: exception Gtk.Error(“GtkMain.init: initialization failed
ml_gtk_init: initialization failed”)
If I try to sudo it I get:
[dowdle@scott ~]$ sudo guestfs-browser

I am Richard W.M. Jones, a computer programmer. I have strong opinions on how we write software, about Reason and the scientific method. Consequently I am an atheist [To nutcases: Please stop emailing me about this, I'm not interested in your views on it] By day I work for Red Hat on all things to do with virtualization. I am a "citizen of the world".
My motto is "often wrong". I don't mind being wrong (I'm often wrong), and I don't mind changing my mind.

This is an issue for virt-tools list.
AFAIK there’s not supposed to be a hard dependency.
I installed guestfs-browser from updates-testing in Fedora 15. I can’t get it to run. If I try to run it as a user I get:
[dowdle@scott ~]$ guestfs-browser
Fatal error: exception Not_found
If I try to run it as root I get:
[dowdle@scott ~]$ su –

[root@scott ~]# guestfs-browser
Fatal error: exception Gtk.Error(“GtkMain.init: initialization failed

Ok, so what am I doing wrong?
More like, what am I doing wrong …
It’s a bug. I’ll push a new build to F15 this evening.
Thanks for testing!
These packages should work better …
