Xpra: Ticket #2469: version 3.0.1 is broken

The rendering of the window in the client is broken (see screenshot), because of this xpra is not usable anymore.

In the server I have this version xpra-common-server-3.0.1-0.r24252.fc30.noarch In the client xpra-3.0.1-0.r24252.fc31.x86_64

Forgot to say, the client has a 3200 x 1800 screen resolution, don't know if this info is important.

Duplicate of #2466.

Until 3.0.2 is released, turn off opengl and things should work.


Sat, 02 Nov 2019 11:09:23 GMT - Antoine Martin:

Please post the output of

XPRA_ALL_DEBUG=1 xpra opengl-probe

And try running the client with:

XPRA_REPAINT_ALL=1 xpra attach

Does that help?

You can also use the python2 builds to workaround this issue:

python2 /usr/bin/xpra attach ..

This may work for you:

XPRA_OPENGL_DRAW_REFRESH=1 xpra attach ...

The output of XPRA_ALL_DEBUG=1 xpra opengl-probe is in xpra.log attach The other options don't work, and running python2 client is not also an option because when I try to install python2-xpra-client I have this error

nothing provides pygtkglext needed by python2-xpra-client-3.0-0.r24048.fc31.x86_64

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 03:21:04 GMT - Antoine Martin:

The other options don't work

Have you tried --opengl=no?

nothing provides pygtkglext needed by python2-xpra-client-3.0-0.r24048.fc31.x86_64

That's fixed in r24361 (r24362 was also needed), dnf should now pick it up, you may need to force the refresh if not.

From your log:

vendor: Intel Open Source Technology Center
renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile

The command line should have given you a greylist warning about that.

Intel drivers are known to cause problems, we even have a wiki entry dedicated to them: wiki/ClientRendering/OpenGL

Sorry forgot about the --opengl=no, with that options works.

With the install of the python2-xpra now I have another error nothing provides python2-rencode needed by python2-xpra-3.0-0.r24048.fc31.x86_64

hopefully not needed

r24384 blacklists old Intel drivers: Ivybridge, Haswell


Tue, 05 Nov 2019 17:45:02 GMT - Antoine Martin:

nothing provides python2-rencode needed by python2-xpra-3.0-0.r24048.fc31.x86_64

That's also fixed, thanks for reporting it. Xpra 3.0.2 has been released with the fixes from this ticket and #2466.

Thanks, everything works now.
