In the Xpra documentation , it says that you can remotely access a Linux desktop with a command like:
xpra start-desktop ssh://user@192.168.0.2 --start=fluxbox
How would you do this if Ubunty Unity 22.04 is the remote desktop you're trying to access?
I have xpra installed on both the client and the "server" (from the default repository), and I also have openssh-server installed on the Ubuntu Unity workstation:
sudo apt install xpra openssh-server
From Debian 11, I tried to access the Ubuntu Unity desktop like this:
xpra start-desktop ssh://user@192.168.0.2 --start=ubuntu-unity-desktop
And got this error:
> Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system
> can't recover. Please log out and try again. [ Log Out ]
