Just did a fresh install of xpra on an almost virgin gentoo. The build went fine, but when trying xpra start :100 like specified on its home page, I get: % xpra start :100 cannot load x264 codec: cannot import name codec Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/xpra-2.7", line 6, in <module> sys.exit(xpra.scripts.main.main(__file__, sys.argv)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/scripts/main.py", line 443, in main from xpra.scripts.server import run_server File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/scripts/server.py", line 19, in <module> from xpra.wait_for_x_server import wait_for_x_server #@UnresolvedImport ImportError: No module named wait_for_x_server This file is usually present, i confirmed with a working xpra install on another gentoo computer. My guess is, it was installed by earlier versions and didn't become incompatible. I'll try and confirm by installing an older version and upgrade to 0.7.1-r1. % eix xpra [I] x11-wm/xpra Available versions: (~)0.4.2 (~)0.5.6 (~)0.6.4 (~)0.7.1 {{+clipboard ffmpeg jpeg libnotify parti png +rencode server ssh vpx webp x264}} Installed versions: 0.7.1(06:24:04 PM 11/01/2012)(clipboard rencode server x264 -vpx -webp) Homepage: http://xpra.org/ Description: X Persistent Remote Apps (xpra) and Partitioning WM (parti) based on wimpiggy
