I'm working on a remote server (Ubuntu 14.04) through SSH -X. I have installed Sublime Text and when I try to open it I get
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Unable to connect to dbus
How do I solve this?
As I found at the end of this thread, it appears to be a problem with the libcanberra dependencies, I stumbled upon this and the solution worked for me on Sublime Text 2/Debian 8. So try running this:
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk*
This got rid of the GTK message, but the "Unable to connect to dbus..." stuff disappeared when I executed sublime as a non-root user.
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk*
if you run that install it will get 120+ mb of libs, mostly. to get rid of that module error, you only need to install 70k. i fixed the same error with this single package:
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module
that should do the trick. if that doesnt work try installing only the canberra libs, you don't need all those Xlibs, or you'd have them already ;) here's just canberra packages apt listed:
libcanberra-gtk-common-dev libcanberra-gtk-dev libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk-module-dbg libcanberra-gtk0 libcanberra-gtk0-dbg libcanberra-gtk3-0-dbg libcanberra-gtk3-dev libcanberra-gtk3-module-dbg libcanberra-dev
10 total packages, instead of over 100 packages with that * wildcard. save space, boot time, sys speed etc, always, if you can :)
On Debian Stretch:
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module
This will install:
The following additional packages will be installed: libcanberra-gtk0
The following NEW packages will be installed: libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk0
