Hi, Antoine!

libwebp just recently bumped soname.  It seems to work fine with
python-webm/xpra still so I went ahead and fixed up the split-off
Fedora python-webm package.

You might want to fix your bundled copy as well so you can get ahead
of distros upgrading.  :-)

Hope you had a wonderful holiday,
-T.C.

Thanks, done:
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/5092/xpra

FYI: I've added some information to clarify what this fork adds over the
defunct google code project:
http://xpra.org/trac/changeset/5091/xpra
We add "lossless" encoding support, not lossy as per the specfile
changelog I saw... (no biggie)

Cheers

Hi,

I?m trying to compile source for the latest version of xpra (xpra-0.10.10) on a server running Ubuntu 12.04 (precise).  Following the directions at

  http://winswitch.org/dev/debian.html

I first ran

  python-crypto python-twisted python-gtk2

and after all these packages installed I ran 

   ./setup.py install --home=install

However, this leads to the following error:

  ERROR: cannot find a valid pkg-config package for ['x264?]

I?m not sure where to go from here ? any suggestions?

Best & many thanks in advance,

Roger

Start with the correct instructions, the ones above are for winswitch,
xpra's are here:

As per the page linked to above:

For x264 and vpx support, you should install:

apt-get install libx264-dev libvpx-dev libswscale-dev libavcodec-dev

That said..
> I?m not sure where to go from here ? any suggestions?
Use the binary packages we provide, it will save you a lot of grief.

If you insist on building from source, and since you are on a
distribution (Ubuntu Precise) with known unfixable problems with libav,
build without x264 or libav:
./setup.py --without-x264 --without-dec_avcodec

Bearing in mind that xpra is an order of magnitude more efficient with
x264 enabled.. I can only suggest you use a more up to date distro.

Indeed, there do not appear to be any winswitch rpm files in the 6.4 or 6.5

for the latest CentOS. I'm going to try the 6.3 version for now.

The CentOS 6.3 version should be identical since the code for winswitch
is pure python.
It should just work.
I've just spun some (untested) packages for CentOS 6.4 and 6.5:
http://winswitch.org/dists/CentOS/6.4/
http://winswitch.org/dists/CentOS/6.5/

Wow, that's fast. I did manage to install from the 6.3 rpm. It just had

Hah, odd.
What we're trying to do on all those files as part of the post-install
script is simply this:
chcon -t texrel_shlib_t /PATH/TO/THEFILE

This sets the SELinux file label, and for some reason, it is failing.
Do you have SELinux enabled and in "enforcing" mode? If so, you may get
some failures at runtime which will prevent you from using those codecs.
Which can be a bit of a problem since xpra is *a lot* faster with those
codecs enabled.
I'll have to try this out on CentOS 6.5

Message-ID: <CAKq7qa7sgnMJB6w1Ef6Y6uQBCsRjAh8yRQxFVM_83kySmwAVgg@mail.gmail.com>

I can't seem to get shadowing mode to work. From what I'm reading, if the
application is using xpra, then it should just be available, but I do not
see it in the menu. I can only send from one computer to the other. I'm
running CentOS 6.5 64 bit and Windows XP.

What I would really like is to just send one window of a multi-window
application, but if that is not supported, then shadowing is fine, where I
will minimize one window on one computer, and minimize the other window on
the other computer.

You can "shadow" an existing display, but not a seamless application
running through xpra.
xpra supports multiple clients connected simultaneously to the same
server, but this feature is experimental, not well tested, and not
available via winswitch at present.

Even with the current "multi-client" experimental code, this is not
going to work: as soon as one of the clients minimizes a window, it will
no longer be displayed on the other.
This is the most pressing item on the ticket for this feature request:
http://xpra.org/trac/ticket/41
It shouldn't particularly difficult to implement, but multi-client
support isn't a high priority at the moment.

Hello all,

I have successfully compiled Xpra and start it, and assigned a program to
the display.  However, when I attempt to connect from another computer the
remote program flashes on the screen from a moment and then apparently the
Xpra server crashes with the following error:

Assertion sizeFactor > 0 failed at libswscale/utils.c:365

Has anyone seen this before?  Is there a parameter I can use to disable
this feature?

Thanks much,
c2z4s9

You're not saying what distro or version you are on, so this makes it
difficult to help you.
Do the binary packages not work?
If you're on Debian or Ubuntu, you need the libav patches. Without
those, libav will often crash - though that's usually client side, not
server side.

Since this a bug report, more is usually better, see:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/ReportingBugs
In particular, since the problem seems to come from libswscale, the
libav version installed would be a good start.

openSUSE seems to be using the libav fork and not ffmpeg.
Did you try to apply the libav patches?
http://xpra.org/trac/browser/xpra/trunk/src/patches
My guess is that you'll need pretty much the same patche set as Debian Sid:
* libav-nofree
* libav-pixfmtconsts
* libav-no0RGB

Perhaps I am showing my ignorance here, but I didn't compile up libav (from
libav.org) but instead compiled ffmpeg. I thought that is what I installed.

The ffmpeg version is reported as N-59690-gc6fe984 (?).
liavutil: 52.62.100
libavcoded 55.47.100
libavdevice 55.5.102
libavfilter 4.0.103
libswscale  2.5.101
libswresample 0.17.104

I applied the three patches that you suggested.  I am now able to connect
to the remote display and remain connected.  However, even though I have a
window for the remote utility it is blank.  I will continue to experiment.

Hi,

This version fixes a few bugs found through extensive testing for he
upcoming 0.11 release. Upgrading is strongly recommended as this
prevents the use of the webp picture decoder which leaks memory fast
(unless specifically selected by the user). Note: up until now, webp
was also used as a temporary encoding for smaller screen regions with
the h264 and vp8 encodings. Most users would have been affected by
this memory leak.

Full release notes:
* fix missing auto-refresh with lossy colourspace conversion
* fix spurious warning from Nvidia OpenGL driver
* fix OpenGL client crash with some drivers (ie: VirtualBox)
* fix crash in bencoder caused by empty data to encode
* fix OSX popup focus issue
* fix ffmpeg2 h264 decoding (ie: Fedora 20+)
* big warnings about webp leaking memory
* generated debuginfo RPMs

Another 0.11 release candidate is also available in the beta area.
Hopefully the final one, again, but for real this time..

Hi,

This new major release brings a number of new exciting and exclusive
features:
* NVENC support for hardware accelerated h264 encoding on Nvidia
cards, this can compress video frames much faster than your CPU ever will:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Encodings/nvenc
which means that screen updates can get to your client very quickly:
http://xpra.org/stats/NVENC/
xpra is the first open source software to support NVENC.
* Support for OpenCL and CUDA acceleration of colourspace conversion:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/CSC
* Proxy mode for serving multiple sessions through a single TCP port:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/ProxyServer
* Support for sharing a TCP port with a server: "--tcp-proxy=HOST:PORT"
Non-xpra traffic will be forwarded to the target of your choice, which
can be very useful for serving both HTTP and xpra from the same port.
* New and extensible authentication mechanisms:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/Authentication
* mDNS support: your xpra sessions will be advertised unless you
specify the switch "--no-mdns"
* support for transparency with OpenGL windows and with 8-bit PNG modes
* "remote shadow start" so you can clone an existing remote X11
display to your desktop in one command: "xpra shadow ssh:HOST:0"
* Support for faster lz4 compression and a Cython bencoder:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki/PacketEncoding
which can make a significant improvement in latency with RGB encoding:
http://xpra.org/stats/lz4/
* ffmpeg and libav are no longer required for vpx and x264 support, as
we ship a (slower) fallback module.
* improved system tray support and native integration
* stricter and safer value parsing
* more detailed status information via UI and "xpra info"
* experimental HTML5 client:
http://xpra.org/trac/attachment/ticket/473/xpra-html5.png
* non xpra clients are rejected with a more friendly response
* libvpx 1.3 and ffmpeg 2.1.3 for OSX, MS Windows and static builds

And the usual cleanups and refactorings to make the code easier to
work on. The wiki has been updated and has quite a few new pages too:
http://xpra.org/trac/wiki

The development for version 0.12 is about to start, and we already
have quite a few tickets queued up:
http://xpra.org/trac/milestone/0.12
But if you have requests or killer features you would like to see
added, do let us know.

Hi, I was wondering what the over/under is on the possibility of XPRA being
ported to the web through Emscripten or Native Client. Along with being a
major win for Chromebooks or other people who want to be able to access an
app over the internet, I like the idea of using it for Crouton, a build of
linux that installs itself into a Linux Chroot inside a Chromebook, and can
be tapped in order to run native apps. This sort of integration would be
fantastic, and I was wondering if there was a time table or porting guide I
could refer to if I wanted to take a crack at it myself.

Writing xpra clients is rather easy, I have now written proof-of-concept
clients in Java and Javascript in just a matter of days. Then there's
the existing Python/GTK client. I would use one of those as a template
for a new client.

The main difficulty is in finding the support libraries you will need to
handle:
* compression (optional but recommended): zlib (easy to find) or lz4
* packet encoding (required): a modified bencode (easy-ish) or rencode
* windowing system integration (or lack thereof in HTML5 or Android..):
platform dependent.

Then you just need to implement:
* network layer: sending and receiving packets
* basic client class: creating windows and painting them

There are a number of optional features (notifications, clipboard, bell,
better encodings) which you can skip until you find that you really need
them.
Feel free to create a ticket and post some code and we can help you with it.

Cheers
Antoine

Hi,

Hi,

I've uploaded new installers for MS Windows and Mac OSX of Window-Switch
0.12.20
These new images have been rebuilt so as to include the latest Xpra
0.11.1 and fix some very minor bugs.

Cheers

Subject: [winswitch] assigning input devices to xpra instance?
Message-ID: <CAHedU1T_aFahTjGkL-D=ZFBs3Nt8RkGiH0mTrO-Bh=Ft8ZWMCA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am exploring making a multiseat system (multiple users with multiple
monitors/mice/keyboards on one computer) with only one graphics card
feeding two terminals.  Tutorials on line for doing this all talk about
Xephyr.  (If you had multiple cards, you'd start an new X server for each
user.)  The Xephyr dev hates that xypher is used for multiseat and so it
really isn't the best tool.

Xpra is sort of similar to Xephyr.  One thing Xephyr has is the ability to
have devices from evdev (/dev/input/) assigned to a particular instance of
it, so one mouse and one keyboard only send information to that one Xephyr
session.  Does Xpra have any functionality like that, or could it be hacked
in some way using another program in conjunction with Xpra?

Thanks,
Elliot

Not really. Xpra is a window manager, Xephyr is a display manager.
Window managers operate on top of a display manager and do not deal with
devices.

Xpra uses Xvfb or Xdummy, one can use Xephyr with Xpra to get full
screen sessions ala VNC, but that's a completely different use case.

No, and it won't. This is not the right place to do it.

I don't understand how Xpra would fit in your scheme.
My advice: get a cheap second graphics card.

Hi Antoine,
?I've a problem with xpra on ubuntu and win switch on mac. Some keys are not working i.e. arrows, enter, some key modifiers like ctrl+t.

My configuration is:
win switch 0.12.20 on OS X
xpra 0.9.6 on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS.?

I know you don't support Lucid anymore, but I'm wondering it is something weird on win-switch.
TIA
Davide

Although 0.9.6 is buggy and old, I don't expect later versions to fare
any better in this case since there weren't any significant keyboard
related changes since.
I am aware of at least one bug which may have an impact:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/ticket/483

Can you please file a bug using these guidelines:
https://www.xpra.org/trac/wiki/Keyboard#ReportingBugs
And we should be able to do something to improve support.

Cheers
Antoine

That's strange because I did an apt-get upgrade few weeks ago.

What did you expect it would do?
Ubuntu 10.04 is abandoned for desktop use, that's why you're stuck on
0.9.6..
