xpra no longer working

[HellFire]

xpra hasn't been working the last few updates.

Checked the server log, and it showed:

[EE] 2012/10/09 19:00:14 WinSwitchServer.assign_virt_utils() failed to load xpra, make sure it is installed: No module named xpra.dotxpra

Fixed that with sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xpra /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/ but I still can't start an xpra session.

Oh, I really hate debian packaging with a passion now, let me see what I can do.

[Antoine Martin]

• r5055 fixes the path issue (will need to remember to remove this whole crazy debian-only workaround once debian packaging is properly fixed - as this is totally absurd)

[Antoine Martin]

As for the second issue, this shows that the server still does not have xpra loaded.
Can you check your server log near assign_virt_utils, it should now show xpra as beeing loaded, and if not it should tell you why.

The only place where one can disable xpra (once the debian paths have been unmangled) is in:

.winswitch/server/protocols/xpra.conf

By setting enabled to False, worth checking too.

(and obviously, restarting both client and server may help, good-ol' on/off - although it shouldn't)

[HellFire]

r5055 is incorrect, path needs to be /usr, not usr.

Definitely got it loaded now.
xpra sessions appear to start, but I can never connect to them.

correct path in r5060 - no idea why it worked for me on squeeze. I was not running from "/", ahhhhh maybe the install from source during testing installed in the usual, non debian crazy path, so I just tested a regular install path and thought the fix was what made it work... I hate packaging.

As for the MS Windows client, please try the updated installer: ​https://winswitch.org/dists/windows/WinSwitch_Setup.exe (md5: 9cf49bb960a814ebb0cd22233cdd681e)

That fixed it, thanks.
