hi;

Warning: running as root
connection failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

start atached is works.

1) don't run as root
2) use an up-to-date version, 0.12.3 is too old
3) please provide more information, as per wiki/ReportingBugs - for example, why you expect "stop" to work on display ":1", the server log file, etc..

i saw that page3 but didnt understand anythig which was for ubuntu and how can i find link for it ?

[Antoine Martin]

Really? I quote: you can install the RPM and Debian repositories by following the repository installation instructions for winswitch. That's the link right there.

For trusty, you will land here: ​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=trusty

this is my rust1.sh file :

#!/bin/bash

xpra start :100
export DISPLAY=:100

cd /home/steam/rust/
screen -A -m -d -S "rust-server" \
wine ./RustDedicated.exe -batchmode

i run this file with my oynadi user

and get this error :

oynadi@oynadi:/home/steam/rust$ ./rust1.sh
xpra main error:

when i run with sudo :

oynadi@oynadi:/home/steam/rust$ sudo ./rust1.sh

Warning: running as root
oynadi@oynadi:/home/steam/rust$ Entering daemon mode; any further errors will be reported to:
  /home/oynadi/.xpra/:100.log

i see the process

oynadi@oynadi:/home/steam/rust$ ps 11636
  PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
11636 ?        Ssl    0:00 Xvfb-for-Xpra-:100 +extension Composite -screen 0 384

when i write for stoping it :

oynadi@oynadi:/home/steam/rust$ sudo xpra stop :100                                            
Warning: running as root
xpra initialization error: connection failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
oynadi@oynadi:/home/steam/rust$

i goal is use xpra for my game server console and stop it when i need or restart it

thans a lot for your guiedness :)

Personally, I wouldn't start xpra from that script file, I would do:
xpra start :100 --start-child=rust1.sh
And just put your rust stuff in that script file.

You are getting permissions errors because you run things as root.
Nuke the .xpra directory: rm -fr ~/.xpra and start again. Don't use sudo, don't use root.

[Antoine Martin]

not a bug: don't use root, don't mix users.
