I assume that you're using the beta repository. Please always include
the full version string.

Version 2.1 enables the OpenGL support on more chipsets, it is possible
that the one you are using is buggy and causes the crash. Please see:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/1367
And add your details here so we can blacklist the driver or chipset if
needed.

Please include the actual error message details.
(could be an incomplete package)

The version of ffmpeg on your system may not be compatible. For more
information on building from source on Ubuntu see:

Same as above, I've deleted the incomplete upload.
There is a newer build, but for 32-bit only.
