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.
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.
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.
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...
Sorry for being stubborn -Y made it work again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 134425 ***
