My guess is that you're using an unsupported xpra package which is
missing the html5 client component.

Install the official xpra.org packages or install the html5 client on
top of your existing installation:
https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra-html5

If that does not solve the problem, please look at the server log.

Cheers,
Antoine
