Generally it seems to be working much better than the old 1.x release. I am having trouble with gnome-terminal though. In some (but not all) of my terminal windows, all or part of the window is transparent and shows the desktop or window behind it. Forcing a window repaint makes the problem go away temporarily, but it comes back after a time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to pin down a particular action that triggers the transparent window. I am seeing this when using the Xpra client and server on the same machine using ssh to localhost. (I haven't connected remotely much since upgrading), I haven't seen the problem in any window other than gnome-terminal. Any suggestions? Anything I can gather to help debug this? Thanks.

On the subject of mailing list posts, some may have missed the messages about the two critical updates from 2 weeks ago as the mail server had been moved to a new hosting facility but the reverse-dns records had not been updated yet.

It's becoming quite the pain. Sorry, this got stuck on my never ending, ever growing, todo list. I've just tried to reproduce it in a VM and didn't see any problems. Ubuntu 16.04 is stuck with a 3 year old version of the Python OpenGL libraries (..), so it is using the far less tested (and also much slower) non-opengl rendering backend. Overriding system packages is not usually recommended, but in this case I would make an exception, try: sudo easy_install PyOpenGL sudo easy_install PyOpenGL_accelerate > At a minimum, is there any way to disable transparency? This might work: XPRA_ALPHA=0 xpra attach ...

Unfortunately with this mode the "advanced options" menu in the connect webpage is not working; it is not clickable. If you want to see the problem, you can connect to my website https://5454.fr:80/connect.html (i am using port 80 for ssl because of NAT port forwarding and 443 is used for another machine) If I connect without ssl, the "advanced options" menu is working. You can see this at http://5454.fr:80/connect.html (http instead of https) I have two questions: -Is this problem a known bug or did I make a configuration error? -I need the "advanced options" to change the keyboard layout to french. I tried to solve this with the option "??keyboard?layout=fr" but its not working, layout is still english. Could you tell me how to use this option to change keyboard to french by default?

Unfortunately with this mode the "advanced options" menu in the connect webpage is not working; it is not clickable. That was a bug.

In the future, please try to include more details, as per: https://www.xpra.org/trac/wiki/ReportingBugs > -I need the "advanced options" to change the keyboard layout to french. I tried to solve this with the option "??keyboard?layout=fr" but its not working, layout is still english. Could you tell me how to use this option to change keyboard to french by default? The keyboard layout should be detected from the browser's locale. How well that works varies widely with different browsers / version / OS doing different things.

I am trying to run a GUI java app that uses OpenGL on a remote Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) machine and have it display back on my PC using Xpra. I can successfully run the application when I just use Xming-mesa. However, when I add Xpra into the equation, the GUI java app fails to start and throws this error: OpenGL: ~~ERROR~~ RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread But if i shut down the Xpra server and just connect using Xming-mesa, the application starts fine; so I'm somehow inclined to believe that there is some conflict here involving Xpra and OpenGL. Any advice you could provide to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
