Re: [orca-list] Logout and shutdown dialogs inaccessible on Arch, good news



How did I figure it out? here's an answer for those who may be want to get more involved.

I logically approached it, asked a few questions (eg. where does it happen? Is it distro specific? etc). Having concluded that it possibly was a distro specific thing (as my debian system doesn't show it, I think the fedora liveCD doesn't show it, we haven't heard ubuntu users complain about it, there must be a fix out there (many of those have suffered from it in the past). So out with the browser and google, I came across a bug report for it on ubuntu which linked to the gnome bug where I found that suggestion of a possible cause. Checking whether the schema was installed revealed it wasn't so I tried installing it and it worked!

I will now try and see this to completion by reporting it to ArchLinux packagers. I don't know how long it will be before Arch fix this in the actual package, so may be you do want to note this on the wiki.

COOL!!!

How in the hell did you figure all this out?  I know so little about
gconf and gconf-tool-2 and friends.

I actually applied these changes in a native text console under my
root login and that worked fine too.  I mention this incase people
have trouble with using gnome terminal after a su command.

Thanks again so much for this find.  If you like, I can update the
Orca wiki some place with this comment until some other more permenant
solution is reached.

Hello,
Its obviously an evening for good news for ArchLinux users, I've
just found the problem and solution for the inaccessible
logout/shutdown dialogs on ArchLinux.

It appears that the Arch package doesn't run the gconftool-2
--makefile-install-rule command for the at-spi schema.

How a user can fix: First open gnome-terminal and use su to become
root. Now set the GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE with the following command:
export GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source`
Now install the schema with the following command:
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/at-spi.schemas
Now you probably need to logout and log back in.

Probably should have a bug report submitted to ArchLinux.
