I have documented how I resolved this issue on my blog: http://brtknr.com/2017/03/15/permission-issues-with-xpra-on-ubuntu-16-04-when-tunnelling-through-SSH/
Turns out that the version of xpra (0.15.x) provided with Ubuntu 16.04 is not supported anymore and updating to 2.0.x resolved the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-dummy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589447 Title: Xdummy cannot be used in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-dummy/+bug/1589447/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
