Hi all, I wrote a couple of Dockerfiles to test the latest stable (xpra X11 version 2.3.2-r19729 64-bit as of this writing) and the latest beta version (xpra X11 version 2.4-r19803 64-bit as of this writing) and I found some bugs when comparing the HTML5 client to the Xpra desktop client I use on my Arch Linux running PC.
The Docker images are based on Ubuntu 17.10 artful and I attach the Dockerfiles so that my experiments can be reproduced. To build the images, I run the following commands: sudo docker build -t xpra -f path/to/xpra/Dockerfile path/to/xpra/ sudo docker build -t xpra:beta -f path/to/xpra/Dockerfile-beta path/to/xpra/ To run the containers, I enter the following: sudo docker run --interactive --tty --rm -p 8080:8080 xpra sudo docker run --interactive --tty --rm -p 8080:8080 xpra:beta Once a container is running, I open my web browser (Firefox or Chormium) and navigate to http://localhost:8080. Once xpra is loaded I have an xterm window in my browser. So far, so good. Once I am in xterm I run the command "xdg-open https://xpra.org";. With the stable version of xpra I only get a message in my local terminal (the one in which I launched the docker container) that says (as expected): "2018-07-04 21:04:57,471 New unix-domain connection received on /home/matteo/.xpra/62b2edcf1139-0 2018-07-04 21:04:57,473 Warning: remote end does not accept URLs" If I connect to the container with the desktop client, I get the pop-up asking me where to open the link. With the beta version, using the HTML5 client, Firefox in the container is launched. It seems like the xdg-open-forwarding for URLs is broken in the current beta. If I connect to xpra beta with the desktop client, I get the pop-up as with the stable version of xpra. I can add that xdg-open-forwarding for URLs was working in version v2.4-r19581 I installed as beta in a container some week ago. There are two more bugs, that are present in both version of xpra and only in HTML5 client. If I run "firefox https://xpra.org"; in the remote xterm terminal window, Firefox launches regularly and the web page loads fine. If I ctrl+click on a link, for example on About, the link is opened in the same tab instead of a new one. If I use the desktop client, the ctrl+click opens the link in a new tab as expected. The second bug I found is about some keyboard keys. If I try to type the "less than" character (<) pressing "shift+," when using the HTML5 client, I get the "greater than" character (>). This happens on both stable and beta HTML5 clients, but not with the desktop client. My keyboard has the US layout and has 104 keys. In the logs I see that the "us" layout is chosen by xpra and that the ctrl key press is recognized by xpra. Other keys with issues are the 4 in the top right corner of the keyboard (top right corner of the numpad): /, *, - and +. These four are mapped to the similar keys in the main part of the keyboard, thus when I press "*" I get "8" and I have to press "shift+*" to get the "*". Please, let me know if I can help any further in debugging these issues. Thank you very for your attention, Matteo Ipri _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list shifter-users@lists.devloop.org.uk http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
