Keychain access dialog closes quickly
Opened this issue · 5 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. on snow leopard, click on gitso, click give support, click on start
2. a security dialog box opens requesting to access keychain
3. this security dialog stays open for only 1/2 second and does NOT give an
opportunity to click any of the options like always allow, deny, allow.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The message on the bottom of Gitso Get Help, Give Support indicates "Cound not
start server".
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gitso_0.6_mac_SnowLeopard.dmg - on mac osx 10.6.2
Please provide any additional information below.
It is frustrating. Email me at jasbirL@gmail.com

What is curious is that, I've never been asked to allow access in the security
dialog. I don't even know why it'd ask you that. I'm also on OS X 10.6.x. Do
you have any software installed that would tighten down security? I ask,
because it's not standard behavior for the security dialog to open.
Please let me know if there's anything on your system that might be affecting
this.

There is nothing in particular installed on the system. I tested it on 2
MacOSX, 10.6.2 and 10.5.x, MacBookPro and Mini Mac, respectively. The
MacBookPro is from work and Mini Mac is personal. If there was anything
installed on MacBookPro (from work), it could perhaps behave differently as
compared to mini mac (which has pretty much out-of-box Apple applications, not
even a development environment); however both exhibit same behavior. I managed
to got it to work by rapidly clicking the start key several times, for each
start button click, the security dialog box opened for perhaps 1/2 second; the
start button click rate was fast enough that I managed to sneak up on one of
the security dialog box to click "always allow". The process name on that
security box was "cotvnc", if that helps.

That does help. cotvnc is the underlying VNC server. I'll see if I can test on
other machines to reproduce the issue.
That does sound frustrating!

I saw this too, try going into Keychain Access and deleting all keychains that
reference Chicken of the VNC. Then try launching it and you should be able to
start the server without seeing the keychain dialog flash up and disappear.
