[I sent this before with a messed up address, trying again]
I've been trying out xpra start-desktop with Windows 7 or 10 viewing Fedora 31. A few things I've had to figure out that don't seem well documented:
To start KDE Plasma, the option is --start=startkde, not --start=plasma as I first guessed
I must use the documented --start="xrandr..." option or the screen size is too large. It doesn't default to 1920x1080.
I got multiple messages "Error Authentication is required to create a color managed device", fixed by workaround I found at https://www.seei.biz/authentication-is-required-to-create-a-color-managed-device-in-xrdp/
I still get one message "System policy prevents control of network connections" but I can cancel or enter a password to get past this.
The first problem I don't know how to fix is that when I close a desktop application, the screen usually doesn't refresh. Konsole behaves this way. I see this both at home with nVidia video on the Linux side and on a PowerEdge server at work with matrox video and no working GUI (which is why I'm looking at start-desktop).
The second problem is that when I log off, I'm left with a black window which I can close, but the xpra server doesn't exit on the Linux side. If I use --exit-with-children, the session doesn't even start. Or maybe it starts but quits after xrandr?
On the Linux end, I do not have the beta repository enabled, so the xpra version is v3.0.2-r24387.
On the Windows end, I have 4.0.0.24461. _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list shifter-users@lists.devloop.org.uk https://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
