[Parti-discuss] use of xpra and ssh

[Matthijs Sypkens Smit]

Hi,

I just found out about xpra. I find it nice and useful! Thank you,
Nathaniel, for your coding efforts.

Following the instructions I tried to attach remotely, but since the ssh
service I wanted to connect to is listening on a port different than the
default 22, I could not get it to work like that. Looking at the code I
concluded that specifying the port number is not supported. Alternatively,
I can login with ssh by hand, attach to the running xpra-session locally,
and have the X output forwarded via the ssh connection. Since this works,
this is what I now use.

Speed of the interface is (currently) not really important to me, but I
still wonder if this is noticeably slower than having xpra make the remote
connection. Anyone care to comment?


NB: I'm not on the list, so I would apprectiate reactions by CC.
