[Python-apps-team] Bug#723058: xpra: fails to start remote server

[Jameson Graef Rollins]

Package: xpra
Version: 0.9.8+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I am currently unable to start a remote server:

servo:~ 0$ xpra start ssh:music at cyrano:100
2013-09-15 15:23:36,404 failed to locate the dbus notification service
2013-09-15 15:23:37,373 Connection lost
2013-09-15 15:23:37,373 connection closed after 0 packets received (0 bytes) and 1 packets sent (7579 bytes)
servo:~ 0$ 

The result of this apparently-successful operation (note the return
code is 0) is no running xpra server on the remote host (cyrano).  I
can otherwise connect to the remote server via ssh fine, and once
there I can start a session just fine:

music at cyrano:~ 0$ xpra start :100
Entering daemon mode; any further errors will be reported to:
  /home/music/.xpra/:100.log
music at cyrano:~ 0$ 

Once the server is established on the remote host, I can attach to it
from the original host:

servo:~ 0$ xpra attach ssh:music at cyrano:100
xpra client version 0.9.8
2013-09-15 15:30:25,122 failed to locate the dbus notification service
2013-09-15 15:30:26,520 Attached to ssh:music at cyrano:100 (press Control-C to detach)
^C
got signal SIGINT, exiting
2013-09-15 15:30:47,990 connection closed after 12 packets received (1359 bytes) and 17 packets sent (8463 bytes)
2013-09-15 15:30:47,992 Connection lost
servo:~ 130$ 

I'm unclear where the console messages (such as "failed to locate the
dbus notification service") are coming from (local or remote host?).
In either case, dbus is available on both machines.

The same version of xpra is running on both machines (0.9.8+dfsg-1).

Thanks for maintaining!

jamie.
