### Some gnome applications take a long time to start (ie: `gnome-terminal`)
Try adding `--source-start=gnome-keyring-daemon` to your server. (see [gnome-terminal takes too long to launch](https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/3109), not supported with older versions so use `--start=gnome-keyring-daemon` instead)
### My xpra seamless or desktop session has crashed! Can I recover it?
Generally yes, as long as the virtual display server (vfb) has not crashed.\
Generally yes, as long as the virtual display server (vfb) has not crashed - and it very rarely does. Use `xpra recover`.\
If the xpra server is completely gone, you can start a new one to re-use the existing display.\
If the xpra server is still running but unresponsive, you should kill it first (and use `kill -9` to prevent the tear down code from also stopping the vfb display)

### "`cannot create group socket '/run/xpra/USERNAME'`", usually followed by `[Errno 13] Permission denied`
Harmless warning, safe to ignore. Or you can add your user to the `xpra` group.\
The server tries to create a socket in the shared group directory `/run/xpra`. This is only useful for sharing access to sessions via unix group membership, in combination with the `socket-permissions` option.
### `/run/user/$UID` does not exist
You probably used `su` or and `ssh` login (not all distributions are afflicted by the ssh variant of this bug).
See [The directory /run/user/ID is not created when the user is switched via su or sudo](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=967509)
Use `machinectl shell --uid=username` instead of `su` / `sudo`.
### `uinput` warnings:
`uinput` is optional, all these warnings are safe to ignore:
* "`Error: cannot query uinput device path`" or "`cannot access python uinput module: No module named uinput`"
