If you have an ssh-agent up and running it is very irritating to add the ssh-key "again" if you have done before during the startup using ssh-askpass.

I would use the same ssh-key to access some remote systems as I have on my system (NFS mounted homedirectory). So the key is already loaded and I guess we could make use of the ssh-agent instead of saving the ssh-key in memory.

I am thinking along the lines of: ​http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/8.2.0/api/twisted.conch.ssh.agent.SSHAgentClient.html

Xpra itself works fine, but using winswitch does not: "You have requested an xpra session but this server does not support it"

When running the server from the CLI I get the following message:

[EE] 2020/29/04 19:07:38.816622 WinSwitchServer.assign_virt_utils() failed to load xpra, make sure it is installed: No module named xpra.dotxpra

There is a very old ticket with the same issue (#219). According to that i tried to link /usr/lib/xpra to a lot of locations without any effort.

If you need more input please let me know!

Hi, I do not know where to post this issue sorry if this is already posted.

I recently installed winswitch on a newly installed ubuntu computer.

xpra 0.7.30, nxserver, vnc server, sshserver are all installed

I try to run the the application but nothing works. When I start an application from the applet, I have a notification is says, "server not responding", or "something went wrong".

I tried by hand to run the server, and the command parser but it does not work either.

I checked Xpra and it does work manually.

I do not know what to do or change to make it work

this is the std output from the client, which seems to be the source of the problem.
