Undocumented dependencies
hosford42 opened this issue · 5 comments
I had to install several undocumented dependencies before this script worked for me:
- xpra:
sudo apt install xpra - uinput:
sudo pip3 install python-uinput - xvfb:
sudo apt install xvfb
At least they are documented here, now, but it would be better if they were mentioned in the README.
ditto
on arch for xvfb it was xorg-server-xvfb
I really would have appreciated if all this was mentioned in the readme where I would have seen it, would have saved me a bunch of time!
uinput is not needed, and if it was then it should not be installed via pip.
xvfb should have been installed as a dependency when you installed xpra.
So the only dependency you really need is xpra, and as of version 4.1 the run_scaled script is included in the package.
xvfb was also not installed as a dependency for me, and error messages just said "failed to connect to server" or so, I would never have figured it out without this issue report.

Xpra directly includes an equivalent tool since version 4.1. It is also called run_scaled and is part of the default Xpra installation.
Hence, this script here is deprecated and no longer maintained. I'm sorry that it took me quite long to officially announce it here. Thank you for your support and please continue your HiDPI journey with Xpra's tool!
