In previous Fedora/CentOS distributions I was always able to run "gnome-session" over SSH with X11 forwarding. However, in Fedora 20, I instead get a window with a sad-face graphic that says "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." In the SSH command window I get this:



[root@localhost ~]# gnome-session

** (gnome-session-check-accelerated:20362): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-ygVJHDDRF1: Connection refused

I am able to run most applications over X11. I tried setenforce 0 and systemctl stop firewalld but the problem still occurs. The end of the "dmesg" output doesn't appear to be useful. Why would gnome-session fail to run on X11? Is this related to my other issue with firewall-config? Fedora 20 FirewallD GUI not working on X11 forwarding

          You need to change your window manager to something that doesn't use 3D acceleration. Set your Gnome session to fallback mode and it should work fine.
