Xpra: Ticket #1814: Cannot cleanly shutdown xpra windows client

On Windows 10, I ran

C:\>"C:\Program Files\Xpra\xpra_cmd" shadow ssh://sntentos@172.16.57.108/0

After successfully connecting, I cannot cleanly shutdown it with Ctrl+C.

I need to close the hosting terminal

I think I am seeing a hang doing this, caused by the clipboard loop (which we should detect: #1312). When this happens, both client and server end up stuck in the main loop.. FYI: control-C usually works, but the recommended way to exit is through the system tray menu.

If you cannot reproduce this bug with --clipboard=no, then please close it and we'll follow up in #1312.

Will try it next time, see how it goes. :-)

Can I close this?

Recently, I have trouble replicating that at all.

I cannot start xpra only with xpra shadow. I need to follow that up with xpra attach in order to connect.

Furthermore, I cannot replicate this neither with clipboard=yes, nor with clipboard=no (while doing "C:\Program Files\Xpra\xpra_cmd" attach ssh://sntentos@172.16.57.108/0)

If it makes any difference, I start with --opengl=no (because of greylisting) −−desktop−scaling=0.75 (since shadowed screens are bigger than my laptop's

Feel free to re-open if you can provide steps to reproduce.
