"xpra upgrade" is for when the xpra server is still running.

What you want is:
"xpra start --use-display=yes :NNN"
Where ":NNN" is the display that you want to rescue.

In the latest development version, you don't need to specify
"--use-display=yes" as "auto" will be the new default and will figure
out if a display needs rescuing.
(this may land in 4.0 after further testing)

I am assuming that you're on the 4.0 branch with a python3 interpreter.
If that is no correct, please let us know.

It would be good to fix the xpra crash that got you in that situation.
If you have any reproducible steps, please do share them.
