GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 154487
accessibility doesn't support apps run with ssh -[XY]
Last modified: 2006-06-27 17:14:34 UTC
If your ssh client doesn't implement -Y, s/Y/X/ . This isn't specific to gedit. It affects all GNOME apps that I've tested. user@host1 $ gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true user@host2 $ ssh -Y host1 user@host2 $ gedit Bonobo accessibility support initialized GTK Accessibility Module initialized X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. ** ERROR **: Accessibility app error: exception during registry activation from id: IDL:Bonobo/GeneralError:1.0 aborting... (Loops continuously, with a ~1s delay after each loop.) Versions of stuff (this is an amd64, hence the atk dupe): $ rpm -q atk at-spi libgail-gnome atk-1.8.0-1 atk-1.8.0-1 at-spi-1.6.0-3 libgail-gnome-1.1.0-1
Ah, forgot to mention: it doesn't make a difference if accessibility is enabled or not on host2.
sorry Zack, I don't quite understand the report.
This involves two computers (I call them host1 and host2). host1 should have accessibility turned on. Whether it's on or not on host2 doesn't matter. I can most reliably reproduce this when the part of host1 is being played by my dual-Opteron workstation. I haven't figured out if it's amd64 (or generic 64-bit) specific. Here is how to reproduce: From host2, ssh -Y (or ssh -X if you're using an older version of ssh) to host1. In the ssh session, run any GNOME app. gedit was the example I gave, but any will do. The result is the error message shown in the original report. It loops forever. The GIMP works fine, because it is not accessible. I hope this is a little bit more clear :/

Hmm, I think this is a dup of 163132, since the issue is that the app is connecting to a user/host-based at-spi-registryd instead of using one associated with the local DISPLAY. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 163162 ***
This might be a duplicate, but surely not of bug 163162. --> Reopening.
