Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 (No Desktop) virtual machine running on windows 8 host xpra config: I attached file name xpraconfig.txt Commands used: xpra start --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000 --html=on --start-child=wireshark xpra info : I attached file name xpra_info.txt software installed from : https://xpra.org/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/ Xpra version: xpra v1.0.7-r16697 Log file : file attached with name 0.log

I am trying to open wireshark app with browser using : localhost:10000 and on windows 8 host : ip:10000 but I can't open wireshark with browser in both. I tried using xterm as well but even I can't access xterm using browser.

The error is right there in your log output:

Error: cannot import websockify connection handler:
 cannot import name WebSocketRequestHandler
 the html server will not be available

The version of websockify in Ubuntu Trusty is too old: http server on Ubuntu Trusty.

Ohh I thought so but can you please help me with how to install it from git? I tried apt-get but it is unable to locate setuptools and pip as well.

I used "git clone https://github.com/novnc/websockify" and have websockify directory. Please tell me what commands to use now to install ?

I am new to Linux sorry for this question.

Thank you so much

Untested:

make sure to remove the websockify version installed by your package manager, if any:
```
apt-get remove websockify
```
install setuptools:
```
apt-get install python-setuptools
```

(you may also be able to use python-pip)

use setuptools to install websockify:
```
easy_install websockify
```
