I'm using XPRA 4.3.4 on a large group of offline education servers running Ubuntu 18.04 with Nginx to host desktop applications through the browser. The setup uses an XPRA proxy server to launch the applications. However, when it's loaded there is a small menu bar in the upper left corner that interferes with access to the application controls. The users are very non-technical so getting them to move it each time won't work. Is there a way to automatically move it to another part of the display screen, or to remove it completely? I tried all of the menu related commands I could find, but none has worked. I am also having trouble getting the display screen to scale properly to fit the browser window. I tried the scaling commands from the proxy server side, as well as the client side, but none seem to make any change. What is the best way to do this? Thanks! (BTW: I will eventually upgrade the systems to Ubuntu 24.04, but that will take a while due to the number of systems, so I need to stick with this level for now.) |

This is not a supported version:
Please share your nginx config.
In "Advanced options", there is an option for the "floating menu".

* I plan to upgrade Ubuntu, but I have over 100 servers installed now in remote areas of Kenya, so I’m only fixing key requests until upgrades are complete.

Please share your nginx config.
* Nginx.conf and sites-available default are attached.

Here is the menu I’m referring to. It’s in the upper left corner of the screen. It can be dragged, but the users are very non-technical, so not likely.
***@***.***
In "Advanced options", there is an option for the "floating menu".
* I’m not seeing that in the man pages for the website. How do I find it? I tried –floating-menu=no in the proxy command and then in the session setup, but that didn’t work. Does it go in the config section?

I don't know what "menu related commands" would be. From the man pages:
…--tray=, --global-menus=, etc.

I have no choice about Ubuntu for the time being. So I should assume that there is no way to scale the display on Ubuntu? If I change the display manager would that help?

Where?
There is no man page for the html5 client.
This is not about scaling, this is about server-side virtualization of displays. |

I found the floating_menu option. That worked, and I addressed the display issue. Thanks! |
