xpra: "Xvfb command has terminated"

Publication date: 2020-01-18

Issue: xpra fails with "Xvfb command has terminated"

xpra fails with "Xvfb command has terminated! xpra cannot continue" when started as a regular user

Solution: Start with extended search path

Do not start as usual like e.g.

xpra start :100 --start=xterm --mdns=0

but instead as

PATH="/usr/lib/xorg:$PATH" xpra start :100 --start=xterm --mdns=0
