shifter 0.9.11 from the Ubuntu repo Kubuntu 9.10 karmic (amd64)

I don't see the session on the client side.

Maybe it's related to this error (see attached log) :

2010/18/04 18:04:40 ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'S \xb7'

Server: WinSwitch 0.12.3, Ubuntu 10.04 (using the WinSwitch repo) Client: WinSwitch 0.12.3, Debian Wheezy (using the WinSwitch Sid repo)

"Match Username" was ticked, I customized the "Sound Monitor Device", and set the Menu Size to "Small" on the client (since the menus were huge on Debian by default - a different bug I suspect). Default Desktop Screen Size was set. Everything else was using the defaults (xpra for Seamless, vnc for Desktop).

I used a password on the server which contained (amongst other characters) the characters ")$;". Presumably one of these prevented the SSH connection from connecting, since the password prompt kept re-appearing. I changed the password on the Ubuntu server to only use an alphanumeric password, and then the password was accepted.

/usr/libexec and /usr/local/libexec do not (and should not, I suppose) exist under a standard Ubuntu install, and yet the packages contain references to them.

In particular, replacing them by /usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib in

/usr/lib/python2.6/winswitch/utils/paths.py at lines 126 and 128 (+/- 1) is needed for the server to start.
