Description Michael Helmling 2006-07-19 07:42:19 UTC
The gtk+ installer on the 2006.1 livecd doesn't start if I click on it. Nothing happens. Doing "sudo installer-gtk" from a terminal leads:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./gtkfe.py", line 15, in ?
    from GLIFutureBar import GLIFutureBar
  File "/opt/installer/fe/gtk/GLIFutureBar.yp", line 18, in ?
    import gtk
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 45, in ?
    from _gtk import *
Runtime Error: could not open display

Command line installer works. Also if I start the gtk+ installer as normal user, it works.

xhost +localhost doesn't help.

Known issue.  Thanks for the report.  We should have it fixed in the near future.
