xpra
PLEASE NOTEThis project is in deep hibernation; I haven't had time to devote for several years now. If you are looking for xpra, you may prefer Antoine Martin's fork, which receives more support. It is available at: http://xpra.org/ Original page followsXpra gives you "persistent remote applications" for X. That is, unlike normal X applications, applications run with xpra are "persistent" -- you can run them remotely, and they don't die if your connection does. You can detach them, and reattach them later -- even from another computer -- with no loss of state. And unlike VNC or RDP, xpra is for remote applications, not remote desktops -- individual applications show up as individual windows on your screen, managed by your window manager. They're not trapped in a box. So basically it's screen for remote X apps. Xpra is currently ~beta status. It's a bit crude -- various polish-y features are unimplemented, and most error reporting includes tracebacks -- but it is usable for real work. Xpra is included in the combined wimpiggy/parti/xpra releases. For more details, see the xpra FAQ, or go straight to the download directory. Discussion should be directed to parti-discuss. |
xpra is awesome! Now I can finally manage GUI applications remotely like CLI apps with screen.
The concept of this is fantastic.
Brilliant, I've always wanted something like this.
wow, i'm going to ssh home and install xpra right now! I'd like to have a firefox session running on my server and just move it around to all the laptops and workstations I use during the day. Thank you!
Thank you, excellent program!
Very nice.
Xpra/Shifter is great!!! For those interested in making the AltGr? keys on French keyboards work you can use the xmodmap here --> http://pastebin.com/Edw1j3MR
I'd like to package xpra for the new Mageia Linux distro. Is it possible to segregate the xpra source code for inclusion?
Thank you for this great piece of software!
Hello all,
I downloaded and I am trying to get xpra to run on my SLES11 box under s/390x, and I am running into a problem that I can’t figure out. I got all the dependencies installed, and do-build doesn’t complain anymore, but when I try to run it, I get:
copying xpra/scripts/init.py -> build/lib.linux-s390x-2.6/xpra/scripts copying xpra/scripts/server.py -> build/lib.linux-s390x-2.6/xpra/scripts copying xpra/scripts/main.py -> build/lib.linux-s390x-2.6/xpra/scripts running build_ext building 'wimpiggy.lowlevel.bindings' extension /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/Pyrex/Compiler/Scanning.py:38: DeprecationWarning?: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

It’s the line: for 0 <= i < cbuf_len / 4:
This line looks fine to me, what am I doing wrong? Did I miss something?
Does the mailing list still work? I tried to send this to the list, but it kicked the email back saying it was undeliverable. Sorry if this isn't the best place to ask for help, I couldn't find anything else... Help!
Thanks!

Hi Donald,
I'm not sure how to reply (you didn't leave an email address or anything, and I don't seem to have a message from you held for moderation on the mailing list), but if you could send me an email at njs@pobox.com I'm sure we can figure this out. (Most likely the problem is that you have an old version of Pyrex installed.)
Thnx for xpra, I was looking for this :)
Hello what about using dxpc with xpra for saving some network bandwith? See http://www.vigor.nu/dxpc/ Dxpc is an X protocol compressor designed to improve the speed of X11 applications run over low-bandwidth links. It was an inspiration source for NX protocol.

Xpra is great! I plan on giving a presentation for my Linux class in College. Hope I can get this to share my MS Office apps some day.
Very nice Site, Thx! visit http://www.mallorcafincamieten.de
Excellent idea, flawless execution. This is exactly what I needed :D
Hi, I was very excited to find this package. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Xpra installed. Following the instructions in the README, I run ./do-build and get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
ImportError?: No module named Pyrex.DistutilsI'm running Scientific Linux Release 5.3 and updated all of the dependencies suggested by the README file. Yum install reports that I have the most recent version f Pyrex as well. Thanks for any help you can give and let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks for this nice application, but Xming crashes often if I use firefox in xpra... Any idear what the cause could be?
Just thought I'd point out http://xpra.org/ which is a more up-to-date fork of xpra.
