AT SPI Registry Wrapper not responding when I try to shut down

[Matthew Horr]

Binary package hint: at-spi

Whenever I shut down my computer, I get an error message stating "AT SPI Registry Wrapper is not responding". I have to then click continue to shut down the computer.

This may be related to mousetweaks. I have Trigger secondary click by holding down the primary button enabled, but this feature rarely works. It started working when I re-installed mousetweaks, but has in a few days started to not work again.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic on a MacbookPro1,1 with at-spi 1.28.1-0ubuntu1 installed

Please let me know if I can include any more info to help

Same problem here. I get this on two vastly different machines (AMD Athlon 850Mhz/768MB DDR, with 9.10 and a Dell Dimension 1100, Intel 2.8GHz, 1GB DDR Ram. 9.10).

Hi

Same problem here. I removed both at-spi entries from startup programs without any effects.

They recommend to disable Assistive Technologies (System / Preferences / Assistive Technologies), that's what I did... restarted, and it seems the problem's gone away.

I'm getting the same on both my home computer and my work PC.

I'm having the same problem... Disabling assistive technologies doesn't help

I'm running Ubuntu Karmic on a dell laptop (64-bit cpu)

i'm using netbook-remix on karmic and noticed this registry wrapper fails to shutdown... I did at some point try to get orca working to read things to me, but never got it stable. I also enabled a few of the click features mentioned above and turned them off as they were not very useful for me.
  I haven't tried to systematically deduce the relationship between accessibility features and this program not shutting down.
   It seems a reasonable a place to start.

I can confirm this bug on Lucid beta 2 (with latest updates as of 20th April 2010).

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Thanks for confirming this report. Also, a big thank you for sending it upstream. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616261

same problem in 10.04.

+1 for 10.04

[Wanderson Santiago dos Reis (wasare)]

I solved this trouble removing the at-spi package.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. The problem is still there after 2 years. I only get this problem after hibernating.

[Leon Vitanos (leon-mellori)]

Also affects me.. Every time i shutdown or restart the computer it says that it still running.. Ubuntu must fix it!

It might be a coincidence. Ënvironment is 11.04, fully updated. Every occasion when I do start indicator-datetime-preference (setting systems time / date) this application hangs (see bug report # 751175). When indicator-datetime-prefence hangs and I try to reboot or shutdown the system I get the error related to this bugreport. Pop-up windows is shown with message that an application is still runnning (I do assume indicator-datetime-preferences) AT SPI REGISTRY.

Whenever I killed the indicator-datetime-preferences process not only the application runs fine when retried to execute, but also the AT SPI REGISTRY error doesn't appear and reboot/shutdown goes fine.

[Slava (dbazim)]

Have the same problem. I always use Eclipse and always have to confirm shutdown as SPI-REGISTRY hungs. But if I leave laptop for a 10 min it shutdowns anyway.
One more note. In case I mount removable drive while Save As dialog is active. The application that opened the dialog hungs causing heavy processor load for about 1 min. The at-spi-registry is in top list.
