Thank you, that gave me the hint I needed for the first step ... I use
an ssh option for nixos that's not need for gentoo: /"-o
PreferredAuthentications=password"/
But now I've got a new problem (or problems) that might be gentoo-related:
/Warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined
and '/run/user/1010' does not exist
using '/tmp'
server socket for display :2 not found
waiting up to 20 seconds
xpra initialization error:
cannot find live server for display :2
/
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR *does* exist, on the server and the client.
/run/user/1010 exists on the (nixos) client, but there's no /run/user on
gentoo (that I can see). Therefore, my $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to
~/.xpra, which is present and rwe by the user, as is ~/.xdg/xpra.
There's a ~/.xdg/xpra/2/socket with a recent timestamp. There's nothing
relevant in /tmp on the server or the client.
Clearly related is this, when I try to stop xpra on the server:
/$ xpra stop
xpra initialization error:
cannot find any live servers to connect to/
/
/
/$ ps -ef | grep xpra
user 2544 1 0 09:58 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/python3.11
/bin/xpra start :2 --st.../

Hello all,
I'm trying to run xpra as a server on a gentoo box but I get the
following error on connection:
/user@host: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)./
My nixos client works well with nixos servers, just not gentoo servers.
I don't find a use flag that looks relevant, but maybe I'm overlooking
something?
TIA.
Check the content of .ssh/authorized_keys and the file's permissions. Perhaps
they need adjusting?
