Yes, try again, and run both commands, only one at a time. I've updated the wiki to include an example using Xnest as an alternative to Xephyr (worth a try if Xephy is broken on your system: it is currently on mine because of a conflict with the nvidia drivers and their GL libraries) Antoine From rlevy at ucsd.edu Mon Nov 11 19:38:42 2013 From: rlevy at ucsd.edu (Levy, Roger) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:38:42 +0000 Subject: [winswitch] running xpra from the command line after installing Window-Switch bundle?

The "--ssh=" switch only specifies the ssh command line to use when using ssh for transport. > So I tried again with > Xpra_cmd.exe attach :100 -ssh="plink -load ANU" Unless you have a local unix display running on Windows via cygwin, this command line is just as wrong as the previous one. (and even if you did, I'm not even sure that would work as cygwin is not supported) > Then I got: > xpra client version 0.10.9 > connection failed: 'module' object has no attribute 'AF_UNIX' I'll try to improve the error message, but this will remain an error. > So I tried again with: > Xpra_cmd.exe attach ssh:server-host:100 -ssh="plink -load ANU" That looks more correct: now you are telling xpra where the server is *and* that you want an ssh connection to it. (assuming "server-host" resolves or that you use its IP) > 2013-11-19 17:09:25,542 GL Extension GL_ARB_vertex_program available > 2013-11-19 17:09:32,153 write connection reset for TwoFileConnection(ssh:server-host:100) > 2013-11-19 17:09:32,154 Connection lost > 2013-11-19 17:09:32,154 connection closed after 0 packets received (0.0 bytes) and 1 packets sent (0.0 bytes) > 2013-11-19 17:09:32,269 connection lost: write connection reset: [Errno 32] Broken pipe > > So I am a bit stuck here. Does it work from a Linux client? Are you sure that your username is indentical on both hosts? (if not, add username at host or specify it in the plink command line) > For some info on the setup with the SSH it is this: > Local machine (Windows 7 x64) -> gateway-server -> server-host (running a xpra daemon) > > I have set this up in Putty as a saved config "ANU" using the local proxy options and plink as documented here: > http://mikelococo.com/2008/01/multihop-ssh/ > > Can you guys help me? Try connecting to your server with a simple terminal (putty.exe on win32 or a plain terminal on Linux), and if you can connect to the server with that same command line, then verify that there is an xpra server to connect to. ("xpra list" should be enough to see it) Cheers Antoine > Thanks, > Leith Bade > leith.bade at anu.edu.au > _______________________________________________ > shifter-users mailing list > shifter-users at lists.devloop.org.uk > http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users From varvello at yahoo.com Tue Nov 26 09:32:05 2013 From: varvello at yahoo.com (Davide Varvello) Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 01:32:05 -0800 (PST) Subject: [winswitch] Session name Message-ID: <1385458325.42506.YahooMailNeo@web160105.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> Hi Antoine, How can I name an xpra session?

I've some running sessions, but I can't identify them. Is it possible to show a label in the application button? (see image: http://imgur.com/JfzLBA4) Is this a session you started yourself outside winswitch or is there a problem with session detection? Just added today: http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/4802/xpra allows us to change the session name using the command line, for example: xpra control :10 name NEWNAME But winswitch won't pick this new name without a restart at the moment. I will try to fix winswitch's detection of xpra sessions in general ASAP, at the moment it is a bit flaky. Cheers Antoine
