TLDR: just run apt / dnf / yum update again and things should be fixed.

This is probably an error in the html5 client code, which you can see in 
your browser's Javascript console.

I believe you need this bug fix (two commits because PEBKAC):
https://xpra.org/trac/changeset/24934
https://xpra.org/trac/changeset/24939

I have uploaded new 3.0.5 packages with this simple fix applied.
Updating your system should give you the fixed packages.
You can also use 3.0.5 with version "3.0.4" of the "xpra-html5" package.

Sorry about that.
Antoine
