Hello all,
I'm trying to run xpra as a server on a gentoo box but I get the
following error on connection:
/user@host: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive)./
My nixos client works well with nixos servers, just not gentoo servers.
I don't find a use flag that looks relevant, but maybe I'm overlooking
something?
TIA.

Check the content of .ssh/authorized_keys and the file's permissions. Perhaps
they need adjusting?

Thank you, that gave me the hint I needed for the first step ... I use
an ssh option for nixos that's not need for gentoo: /"-o
PreferredAuthentications=password"/
But now I've got a new problem (or problems) that might be gentoo-related:
/Warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined
and '/run/user/1010' does not exist
using '/tmp'
server socket for display :2 not found
waiting up to 20 seconds
xpra initialization error:
cannot find live server for display :2
/
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR *does* exist, on the server and the client.
/run/user/1010 exists on the (nixos) client, but there's no /run/user on
gentoo (that I can see). Therefore, my $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set to
~/.xpra, which is present and rwe by the user, as is ~/.xdg/xpra.
There's a ~/.xdg/xpra/2/socket with a recent timestamp. There's nothing
relevant in /tmp on the server or the client.
Clearly related is this, when I try to stop xpra on the server:
/$ xpra stop
xpra initialization error:
cannot find any live servers to connect to/
/
/
/$ ps -ef | grep xpra
user 2544 1 0 09:58 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/python3.11
/bin/xpra start :2 --st.../

You can use a user password to login over SSH or public key. It is a matter
of configuring the sshd accordingly and using either method from the client.

I don't know anything about xpra, but the error points to a user account not
being available/configured correctly?
Have you tried connecting locally on the server with no user (you'll be
already logged in), before you try connecting from the client remotely using
the correct user@host incantation?

Hmm ... the UID cannot say "user" unless you created the username as "user"?

Yes.

I'm thinking it has to do with the configuration of the configuration
files, as used by both server and client, locally and remotely.

That was a good idea, logging in locally. I got the same error, though.

It was anonymized.
