5.0.9-attach-geom.log 6.1.3-10.r0-attach-geom.log
Did attach using -d geometry
, and uploaded the client-side logs for server 5.0.9 vs server 6.1.3.
In the client, each time, I took it out of full-screen, and tried to resize the client window with mouse.
The server-6.1.3 starts at remote desktop size 1280x1024, and never logs anything in regard to resize or fullscreen:
% grep -i -e fullscreen -e 'size is ' -e resize 5.0.9-attach-geom.log 6.1.3-10.r0-attach-geom.log

xpra start-desktop :33 --exit-with-children=yes --start-child=startxfce4 --resize-display=yes --desktop-scaling=no --dpi=96 --audio=no
resize-display=yes
is the default for a serverdesktop-scaling=no
doesn't do anything for the serverdpi=96
- is this really needed?html=off
doesn't do anything to the clientI have briefly tested with:
xpra start-desktop --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000 --no-daemon --start=xterm
And the virtual display was resize to match my client-side window every time I resized it.
(checked with xrandr
from the xterm) The
desktop-fullscreen` option interferes with resizing.
Eliminated {,--}desktop-fullscreen=yes from attach-cmd and .conf. No change: still can't resize. The initial client view is (properly) shrunk to the 1280x1024 remote size.
But something else odd. Just after server-start, before 1st xpra-client-attach, on remote I see:
$ env DISPLAY=:33 xrandr -q | fgrep -i -e '*' -e current -e primary
Screen 0: minimum 64 x 64, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 32767 x 32767
DUMMY0 connected primary 1280x1024+0+0 339mm x 271mm
1280x1024@50 50.00*
$ env DISPLAY=:33 xdpyinfo | grep -i -e dimen -e resolu
dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (339x271 millimeters)
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Then do 1st xpra-client-attach, and toggle to full-screen, and toggle back to non-full-screen. Now on remote I get:
$ env DISPLAY=:33 xrandr -q | fgrep -i -e '*' -e current -e primary
Screen 0: minimum 64 x 64, current 2560 x 1440, maximum 32767 x 32767
DUMMY0 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 339mm x 271mm
2560x1440 59.96*
$ env DISPLAY=:33 xdpyinfo | grep -i -e dimen -e resolu
dimensions: 2560x1440 pixels (339x271 millimeters)
resolution: 192x135 dots per inch
2560x1440 is my client monitor's (full-screen) resolution. Which looks like its DOING desktop-scaling, to fit/force a 2560x1440 server-desktop back into client-window size of 1280x1024 (with corresponding DPI change)?!
Perhaps remote server is kind-of sizing-up (due to 1st goto-full-screen) but not sizing-down (on exit-full-screen); could be CLIENT is the problem? The -d geometry I suspect isn't enough to show me some of the scaling info.
Tried just an xterm, similar to your last post (but via ssh), no improvement. Did brief test of newest macOS client: Xpra-x86_64-6.1.3-r0.pkg, no improvement.
fyi/aside: Downloads: The https://xpra.org/dists/MacOS/x86_64/Xpra-x86_64-6.1.3-r0.dmg download doesn't work for me (but .pkg works), MD5 is a match, but after installing, on open: macOS says it is a damaged app. The https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/wiki/Download has table under MacOS/Download Links: the arm64 links are to the beta dir: https://xpra.org/beta/MacOS/arm64/Xpra.dmg is a 404 (not found); only beta/osx/ exists & it's empty. They should now be like?: https://xpra.org/dists/MacOS/arm64/Xpra.dmg
macOS says it is a damaged app.
Seeing how hard it is to do simple things, it is macos that is damaged IMO! :laughing: will check.
the arm64 links are to the beta dir
Ah, right. I don't have the hardware to test macos arm64 builds properly and we also had a number of issues with them, so I pointed to the beta downloads to try to stay current / better quality builds. The problem with this is that we clear the beta area when a new release comes out... So anyway, fixed: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/wiki/Download/_compare/30e691cf7f7d6129ab0e385fa406016a3dbeecfa
I can reproduce some problems now - but only with xfce and enlightenment
. They seem to resist the changes in resolution for some unknown reason! (though I am able to change resolution through their settings GUI)
fluxbox
, openbox
, fvwm
and metacity
all manage the desktop without interfering with the resolution.
@sto6 please try a different desktop environment and always start simple (ie: xterm
) before moving on to more difficult components.
This 'fix' works for me, for xfce as a remote desktop. 1st compared (working) 5.0.9 to (failing) 5.0.10, verified a fix in 5.0.10, then ported similar into xpra-x11-0:6.2.0-10.r2.el8.x86_64
.
I don't claim to know why the original departure from 5.0.9 code was made; nor what other side-effects this reversion may yield. (Also monitor_server.py in same dir appears to have similar code; did not try that).

Also, I earlier speculated the problem was: the (resizing) remote-desktop was being 'scaled' into 1280x1024 client-window. Now I believe the remote X-server was getting resized; but the xfce window-manager didn't get the message: remained at 1280x1024 forever.
Once even got into a state, after disabling Compositing, but which I so far have not been able to reproduce, where: the desktop bg-image size/extent and panel-positions/sizes reflected an upper-left 1280x1024 region-size always, but I could drag windows to render in part past that region towards the right and bottom (i.e. into the larger extents of client-window, which was black); so long as the top-left corner of the window (such as Terminal) always remained in the upper-left 1280x1024 region.
FYI, same 'fix' for xpra-x11-5.0.10-10.r0.el8.x86_64

This was changed in 27ccf0e88d8d9dae33ca9b925007bd00596ac249.
The idea is to support fixed size displays using --resize-display=no:1080p
.
In this case, randr
is False
but we still want to set the initial resolution.
I fail to see how restricting the code that calls set_initial_resolution
could end up restricting what can be changed later on.
Holmes's Razor: What remains must be true: set_initial_resolution
breaks xfce resizing, or is done too early...
A bit brute-force: add new option to disable (i.e. skip) set_initial_resolution
?
This also works for my case:
if self.initial_resolutions==() or not features.display:
Aside, this does not report the equivalent of: found XRandR extension version 1.6
, should it?:
$ python3.11 /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/xpra/x11/bindings/randr_info.py
And extension version 1.6
vs randr.is_dummy16()
are unrelated? (There are DUMMY0...DUMMY15
).
Using xpra repo, I noticed 6.1.x xpra-server now available so tried them. But the desktop does not resize to the client, always remains fixed at 1280x1024. Going backwards I found xpra-server-5.0.9-10.r5.el8 works.
For working resize-display:
Versions that work:
xpra-server-5.0.7-10.r0.el8, xpra-server-5.0.9-10.r5.el8
