Once upon a time, I installed xpra
and have been using it without problem.
Then my harddrive crashed. I installed a new identical one, and restored a dd
image of 6 months ago (before I had installed xpra
).
I did apt-get install xpra
and got one from the repositories, but it would not start a server. I'm pretty sure I never added special repositories and it used to work.
So I did a series of apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install xpra
. Still not working. I purged xpra
, added the winswitch repository as explained in the xpra.org download section, but it still doesn't work.
The thing I loved about xpra
is that it just worked. But now I ended up doing a lot of googling, adding my user to all kinds of groups, up- and downgrading packages, and I still can't get it to work.
Can someone give me advice?

and both fail.
