Hi,

I'm working with the i3 SIG in create an i3 Spin, but while testing we found that running in baremetal, the command liveinst throw an error:

[liveuser@localhost ~]$ liveinst
Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 32.24.7-2.fc32 for Fedora 32 started.
 * installation log files are stored in /tmp during the installation
 * shell is available on TTY2 and in second TMUX pane (ctrl+b, then press 2)
 * when reporting a bug add logs from /tmp as separate text/plain attachments

RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized. Use Gtk.init_check() if you want to handle this case.


And we found this error can be avoided by using the command:

xhost si:localuser:root

And then launch the installer.

Did this happen to you in your spins? How would you try a problem like this?
