Here's what it looked like before, when it was only kind of broken (client connected, but my custom error message isn't appearing in the console): |

Make sure you wipe out any previous installation so all the files you are left with are from the new install:
You must have downloaded the
For Ubuntu Focal, you need to import
So whatever you installed is not from the xpra repo, and that's not going to work well: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/wiki/Distribution-Packages-Ubuntu Sure enough, I see:
That's so old, broken and insecure it's a miracle it managed to run at all.
You don't have It does mean that files from the previous package installation may take precedence... this would explain your problem. |

That all makes sense, thank you! I'll try using the 2018 key and installing uglifyjs. |

My advice at this point, compounded by https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/wiki/Distribution-Packages, is to not use Debian or Ubuntu... OK, I'll look into it but I'm getting really annoyed at this constant Debian inflicted waste of my time. |

Personally, I can containerize into a non-Debian-based environment, so don't dive back into that hole on my account! I'm sorry to hear about that tedious maintenance burden. |

Thanks! After just installing PIL, I see an xpra desktop background! Also, |
Perhaps you didn't have any decent picture encoders before... and now you do.
That's your server version, |
Gah, of course, thanks. Sorry for my various server/client confusions, and thanks for helping me debug my server setup in this thread! |
|
Success! I've gotten a custom There's more server-related debugging to do (xterm isn't appearing anymore), but I'll close this issue for now. Thank you very much! |

FWIW, here's the remaining debugging I'm looking at: Server logs before client connectsServer logs after client connectsClient logs |
I'm having trouble setting up my environment for xpra-html5 development.
sudo ./setup.py install, even though I got a lot of errors/warnings (probably similar to the ones below). I noticed that the desktop background image in the xpra session changed to the cat, which I assumed indicated a version bump.sudo ./setup.py install(again with lots of errors/warnings), but I didn't see any change in the website (i.e. no error in the browser console when I added aconsole.errorto the page's source).Help! 😆
Here is the latest path I took in my mostly-default Ubuntu 20.04 environment (consecutive commands, complete output, just split into multiple single-command snippets for readability):
