Good day Samy

Sorry for the late reply but I think I've managed to get things working here. In my case, I had to install "xserver-xorg-input-mouse" and "xserver-xorg-input-kbd" to get xpra working.
I installed Xpra from the Xpra repository.

Thank you for the help.

Kind regards

Hi,

Did you install xpra from the ubuntu's repository or the from the xpra's repository ?

Here is what I have done to overpass your error:

1) I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on a VPS (they may have altered the default installation) 2) I checked wether universe is activated or not (/etc/apt/sources.list). It should be. 3) wget "https://xpra.org/repos/cosmic/xpra.list"; -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xpra.list
4) wget "https://xpra.org/gpg.asc"; && apt-key add gpg.asc && rm gpg.asc
5) echo -e "Package: *\nPin: origin xpra.org <http://xpra.org>\nPin-Priority: 1001" > /etc/apt/preferences.d/xpra
6) apt-get update
7) apt-get install xpra xfce4 dbus-x11 at-spi2-core python-xdg menu-xdg menu python-uinput python-paramiko python-netifaces (this list of packages can be expanded by trial-and-error to disable more warnings and errors from the xpra log)
8) update-menus
9) I set the root passwd (I don't want to dive into xpra's ssh key management on my current Windows 7 client for the moment)
11) I tested my set up (see below)

I have been able to reproduce your XKB error. It happened to me when I start xpra more than once on the same display port, so be careful to stop xpra through your testing workflow:

a) xpra start-desktop :108 --start-child=startxfce4 --exit-with-children
b) test on client, debug on server with logs, install needed packages, reconfigure or change command-line arguments
c) xpra stop
d) xpra list
e) Go to step a

    I may try to install and set up xpra on a VPS instance of Ubuntu.
    I will come back as soon as possible.

        Thank you for the reply. In Ubuntu, x11-xkb-utils is marked as a
        dependency for Xorg and so it was automatically installed. I
        also tried
        running xkbcomp from the terminal and got the output: "Error:
        No input file specified" which means it is definitely installed.
        Sorry if this message is a duplicate but I can't find the one
        I sent
        before in the mailing list.

        Kind regards
