Hi!

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!

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

Following the instructions on ​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=oneiric

I get this error:

W: Failed to fetch http://winswitch.org/dists/dists/oneiric/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I think 'dists' is appearing somewhere it shouldn't (see the dists/dists) above.
