Antoine, I am puzzled by the following. I tried to start an xpra session on my usual server, and got this on the client:
$ xpra start ssh/whirligig/100 --start="gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Blue" & [3] 21295 17:57:38 $ 2018-08-29 17:57:39,090 Xpra gtk2 client version 2.3.3-r20112 64-bit 2018-08-29 17:57:39,090 running on Linux Ubuntu 16.04 xenial ...etc... xpra initialization error: failed to identify the new server display! 2018-08-29 17:58:02,443 Error: failed to receive anything, not an xpra server? 2018-08-29 17:58:02,443 could also be the wrong protocol, username, password or port 2018-08-29 17:58:02,444 or the session was not found So in an ssh session on the server, I tried the following: 17:59:57 $ xpra list Found the following xpra sessions: /run/user/1013/xpra: UNKNOWN session at :100 /home/ajs1/.xpra: UNKNOWN session at :100 /run/xpra: UNKNOWN session at :100 Re-probing unknown sessions in: /run/xpra, /home/ajs1/.xpra, /run/user/1013/xpra UNKNOWN session at :100 (cleaned up) UNKNOWN session at :100 (cleaned up) UNKNOWN session at :100 (cleaned up) 18:00:13 $ xpra stop :100 xpra initialization error: cannot find live server for display :100 18:00:30 $ xpra stop xpra initialization error: cannot find any live servers to connect to 18:00:37 $ xpra list No xpra sessions found and then tried to start a session from the client as before, using the same command, and I got the same initialization error. Going back to the server, I got, much as before, 18:00:45 $ xpra list Found the following xpra sessions: /run/user/1013/xpra: UNKNOWN session at :100 /home/ajs1/.xpra: UNKNOWN session at :100 /run/xpra: UNKNOWN session at :100 Re-probing unknown sessions in: /run/xpra, /home/ajs1/.xpra, /run/user/1013/xpra UNKNOWN session at :100 (cleaned up) UNKNOWN session at :100 (cleaned up) UNKNOWN session at :100 (cleaned up) 18:01:43 $ 18:12:36 $ 18:12:36 $ xpra list No xpra sessions found Am I doing something daft, or is there a bug? The xpra start command has worked many times before -- I usually use ctrl-R to retrieve the previous start command each time, rather than retyping it. On both server and client, I have: $ xpra --version xpra v2.3.3-r20112 Anthony Stone _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list shifter-users@lists.devloop.org.uk http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
