assistive technologies not being started during login
Last modified: 2009-01-09 02:55:33 EST
Description of problem: Assistive technologies (eg., orca, gok, magnifier) not being started during login. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Consistently fails. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gnome-at-properties, check enable assistive technologies, then press the preferred applications button 2. in preferred applications, press accessibility tab, in mobility select custom, enter xlogo for command, then check startup, then close dialog 3. Back on gnome-at-properties dialog, press close and logout 4. Login, and wait for xlogo to start during login Actual results: no assistive technology (xlogo) is started. Expected results: AT should start per the following design http://live.gnome.org/GAP/ScratchPad/PreferredApplications Additional info: The file /usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-at-session.desktop is missing per gnome-control-center/caplets/default-applications/
FYI, Ubuntu and Solaris with GNOME 2.20 have a working gnome-at-session.desktop file.
Could you please test the packages linked from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=540004 If the new packages work, I'll file for an update for F8. The problem is already fixes in rawhide for Fedora 9.
I don't see an RPM to download at the URL referenced in comment #2. Also, when I click on the login link at Koji then I get an error -12227.

I no longer have an Fedora 8 system to test on; however, I did download the RPM and looked in it to find the previously missing /usr/share/gnome/autostart/gnome-at-session.desktop is now there. Thanks.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
