[shifter-users] xpra on linux, shifter on windows

[Rob Byrnes]

I have an xpra session running on a Linux box (Ubuntu Lucid Lynx), and
want to connect to it using Shifter via an SSH tunnel over the
internet.

I have ssh tunnelling checked on the Windows box, but TortoisePlink
does not seem to start when I hit the "connect" button

Here's the relevant bits from server.log on the windows box

I have tried configuring both ssh keys as well as password auth.

On the Linux box I started xpra thusly:
% xpra start :7
Entering daemon mode; any further errors will be reported to:
  /home/loop/.xpra/:7.log
% xpra list
Found the following xpra sessions:
        LIVE session at :7

There is no firewall on the Linux box to get in the way, and an ssh
server is running

thanks in advance,
rob
