Description Pontus Fuchs 2005-01-04 11:14:21 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
The installer for PowerChute network shutdown fails when run with X
over ssh. Running the installer locally on FC3 works fine.

The problem happens in gnome sessions, but in a failsafe X-session it
works fine. As far as I can remember it used to work on FC2.

The installer is available from:

http://www.apcc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SFPCNS221

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log on to a remote server with X forwarded.
2. Start the installer.
    

Actual Results:  An empty window appears.

Expected Results:  The installer should start.

Ohh forgot to mention that other applications (xterm tested) works
without problems.

Comment 2 Sitsofe Wheeler 2005-01-05 16:59:25 UTC

I think you might have come a cropper on the "ssh -X has changed to ssh -Y"
upstream change. If so see bug #141894 for some more details.

Comment 3 Pontus Fuchs 2005-01-05 17:17:44 UTC

No. I have X-forwarding enabled in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config. All other X
application works fine. The X-server starts consuming a lot of CPU when trying
to start PowerChute.

Comment 4 Sitsofe Wheeler 2005-01-05 23:24:08 UTC

Having it enabled may not be enough as there are now two ways to enabling it. However if you have tested with -Y please say so we can rule it out...

Comment 5 Pontus Fuchs 2005-01-07 09:07:59 UTC

Sorry for being stubborn -Y made it work again.
