Issue migrated from trac ticket # 2909

component: html5 | priority: major

2020-10-18 14:53:37: goekce created the issue

Version: xpra v4.1-r27688

After I connect through Xpra proxy, I get the the screenshot attached. It is not possible to scroll to the bottom of the screen and the desktop seems to be shifted on the top.

Do you have an idea where the problem could be?

After I connect through Xpra proxy...

Are you sure that connecting through the proxy makes any difference at all?

Please include the server log, which will show the client's resolution.
-d geometry,screen may provide more details.

When I connect without proxy, the rendering is ok.:

xpra start-desktop --start-child=xfce4-session --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14500 --exit-with-client --exit-with-children --systemd-run=no

When I use proxy with xfce4-session I get the following notification which I forgot in the description. Sorry for that:

DPI is set to 15x15 (wanted 96x96) you may experience scaling problems, ...

Here is the log which contains the screen resolution:

I use an nginx reverse proxy. I thought the reverse proxy would corrupt data, but it does not. When I start directly an xpra session on the command line using

xpra start-desktop --start-child=xfce4-session --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:14500 --exit-with-client=yes --exit-with-children=yes --systemd-run=no

then Xfce4 session is displayed correctly.

I diffed the logs of the xpra-server started by the user with the logs of the server started by the proxy. The relevant lines in the log of the xpra-server started by the xpra proxy as follows:

My guess is that proxy starts the server with different resolution and DPI setting. Is there a difference?

I was using Xfvb due to keyboard layout issues and changed to Xorg for testing.

Xpra logs show

DPI set to 4 x 15 (wanted 96 x 96)

and the screen is again shifted as before.

I noticed that if I try to start xpra as a user I cannot start it at all:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

But this seems to be another problem.

I will try to enforce the DPI to see if it solves the desktop shifting problem.

The DPI problem was solved by installing the patched dummy driver (on Archlinux xf86-video-dummy-xpra-patch).

But the actual problem remains. My workaround is currently to avoid the start-desktop command and start a terminal directly.

I also noticed that when I start xfce4-panel using terminal, then my clicks on the panel are not registered. Probably the problem is associated with the proxy and to a desktop-specific program like xfce4-panel.

I also notice a similar problem when using the Shadow Server on a Windows 10 host.

No matter which device I use as client (e.g. Android Tablet, Windows PC, Linux PC), the display only shows the middle of the original screen, all other parts (top, bottom, left, right) are missing.

@toby63 your issue is different: the shadow server uses a fixed size and the html5 client does not do scaling.

Interesting, thx. Any workaround for this, or will scaling maybe be implemented in the future?

I have limited time to look into this, but creating a new ticket might help move things along.
@basilgello is more knowledgeable than me in this area.

It's very likely that this problem will just go away by using xpra server version 4.4 or later with the dummy driver version 0.4.0 or later.
