XPRA_LAUNCHER(1) General Commands Manual XPRA_LAUNCHER(1)

NAME

xpra_launcher - User interface to connect to a Xpra session

SYNOPSIS

xpra_launcher [ FILENAME]

DESCRIPTION

xpra_launcher is a tool which enables you to connect to a remote xpra(1) session using either a graphical user interface. It is able to read a pre-configured session file.
 
When called without FILENAME, xpra_launcher will spawn a GTK window allowing you to set the connection parameters easily. If FILENAME is specified, the parameters in the GUI will be set to the values specified in the session file. Additionally, if the session file contains the special parameter " autoconnect", xpra_launcher will skip displaying the parameters window and will establish the connection directly.
 

SESSION FILE

The format of the session file passed to xpra_launcher as a parameter is a series of parameter = value lines. Available parameters are:
host
Specify the remote host to connect to.
port
Specify the remote port to connect to.
encoding
Specify the encoding type to use: x264, jpeg, png, ... See xpra --help for the full list of available encodings.
jpegquality
Set the JPEG image quality (when using jpeg encoding). Values are 1-100.
mode
Connection mode: tcp or ssh.
autoconnect
Specify whether to establish connection immediately (True) or simply pre-fill the parameters for the user to review ( False, the default).
