xpra not working - am I missing something?

[mascip]

Hi, for a start I'm trying to use docker-desktop locally on my PC. I follow your instructions and when I do:

xpra --ssh="ssh -p 49153" attach ssh:[email protected]:10 

I get this output:

[email protected]'s password:   
bash: .xpra/run-xpra: No such file or directory   
Connection lost

I have xpra installed but I have never used it, so I might be missing something.

However, this works:

ssh [email protected] -p 49153 firefox

and it fact it's kind of enough for me. What are the benefits of xpra over simple ssh?

The benefits will be visible if you try to do this over a remote system .

When you are hosting the desktop over lan or in your local machine.. the ssh should be just fine.

Thanks a lot :) Your answer in the Docker2Go issue made it even clearer: "X2go gives you support for different Compression ( good for wan /internet based desktops ) , Sound , file sharing ,etc out of the box." I'm not using a remote system so far so I don't need it now, but the time will come...

It should be fixed with the latest version. Let me know how it goes. Thanks
