My guess is that the first xterm is starting before the xsettings have been applied or synchronized.
Try with --xsettings=no
Or start your xterm
with --start-after-connect=xterm
.
xpra start ssh://hostname --xsettings=no xterm
starts white-bg xterm (with subsequent xterms spawned from it having black-bg)
xpra start ssh://hostname --start-after-connect=xterm
does not start anything, only hangs the session on the client side until I press Ctrl+C
Sorry, no idea - and no time to spend on this.
ssh -X hostname xterm
opens black-bg xterm with white text (which is expected)
what could I be doing wrong ?
Wild guess: something should load xrdb into the session before launching the xterm?
I don't have ~/.xsession in my home.
I don't have xrdb calls in my ~/.bash* scripts (only some lines recorded in .bash_history or .xsession-errors)
but still,
ssh -X hostname xterm
shows black bg (expected)
xpra start ssh://hostname xterm
shows white bg (wrong, how to fix?)
I remember it working as expected with previous versions of xpra.
I have a different host on which xpra start ssh://hostname xterm
starts a black-bg xterm same as ssh -X hostname xterm
does
sorry, I don't have this 'healthy' host anymore. probably because I did not start xpra server part on it for too long after the update. It only had LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8 startkde
command in its ~/.xsession
but removing and restoring this line did not have much impact. black-bg on first login, white-bg on subsequent logins after first logout (and black-bg for any subsequently-started xterms).
further observations:
any xterm started with xpra start ssh://hostname ...
, starts with white-bg.
any child xterm started from white-bg xterm with xterm &
starts with black-bg
any xterm started with ssh -X hostname ...
starts with black-bg
Describe the bug on one of my remote hosts, I customized
Xresources/Xdefaults/xrdb
to run xterm with black background and white (or other color) text. however, when I start initial xterm session usingxpra start ssh://hostname xterm
, it gets started with white bg and black text. subsequent xterms, started usingxterm &
from the initial xterm, are started with black bg and white text, which I would expect from the initial xterm as well.xrdb -query
shows identical printout fromwhite-bg
window as well as fromblack-bg
.ssh -X hostname xterm
opens black-bg xterm with white text what could I be doing wrong ?To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
xpra start ssh://hostname xterm
