I am using your deb repository on a Debian 6.0.6 system and just upgraded xpra to v0.8.1. Xvfb got removed, because it was not depended on anymore. xserver-xorg-input-void and xserver-xorg-video-dummy were installed to fulfill dependencies.

Attempting to start xpra:

$ xpra start :999
cannot load vpx codec: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/xpra/vpx/codec.so: undefined symbol: vpx_codec_enc_config_default
No handlers could be found for logger "xpra.sound.gstreamer_util"
Entering daemon mode; any further errors will be reported to:
  /home/user/.xpra/Squeezy-999.log
$ cat ~/.xpra/Squeezy-999.log
Error starting Xvfb: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
2013-02-05 14:00:13,957 removing socket /home/user/.xpra/Squeezy-999

I installed xvfb manually and now xpra works like it did before, but since the depencies changed, I believe, that´s not the intended behaviour.

Hi guys, I installed shifter from the debian lenny repository (v 0.9.19) on my Lenny. The application start, but I can't start the shifter_server because of the GIO module of python, because GIO is introduce in PyGTK 2.14, and Lenny run with the 2.12.

To be sure, I paste the error :

*** Caught exception: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: No module named gio
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shifter/server/controller.py", line 939, in main
    server.start()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shifter/server/controller.py", line 216, in start
    self.start_menu_monitor()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/shifter/server/controller.py", line 337, in start_menu_monitor
    import gio
ImportError: No module named gio
2010/30/06 16:24:51 ShifterController.stop_reactor() Can't stop reactor that isn't running.

So, is there a solution, or I need to upgrade to testing to use the winswitch_server ?

Thanks !
