It looks like you're typing commands, even though you don't actually
have a prompt?

'xpra attach' doesn't automatically background itself; nor does it
give you an ssh shell. It just sits there. Hit control-Z and then type
'bg' to put it in the background, if you want your prompt back. Or
just switch to another terminal. Then log into Blechserver (using ssh
or whatever) and try running the commands there. Does that help?
