client nautilus plugin doesn't deal well with nautilus being launched in a remote ssh session

[Rick McBride]

version info will be attached via apport-collect shortly

remoted to a test box via 'ssh -Y' and launched nautilus to do some comparison to a local session and check sync consistency. I get a TON of this stuff printing to the shell session (and I don't see our plugin bar in the file browser)

There probably is no dbus session for a ssh login. our plugin should detect this somehow and not spew errors.

I don't see this spam in the shell when launching nautilus when our client package is not installed.

you understand dbus here. maybe you can tell us whats going on.

Hi,

I think the running without a DBus session isn't supported :) but the nautilus plugin should handle this in order to avoid all those errors to the console.

A possible solution is to tunnel the dbus ssesion over ssh, or implement a ssh-transport for dbus :O

There is http://gabriel.sourceforge.net/ that allows using a remove DBus session over ssh.
