My server is a Trunk r17252 Fedora 25 server, and my client is a trunk Fedora 25 client
I get this traceback when trying to connect with r17252:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/client/ui_client_base.py", line 3108, in _process_new_window self._process_new_common(packet, False) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/client/ui_client_base.py", line 2917, in _process_new_common self.make_new_window(wid, x, y, ww, wh, bw, bh, metadata, override_redirect, client_properties) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/client/ui_client_base.py", line 2942, in make_new_window watcher_pid = self.assign_signal_watcher_pid(wid, pid) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/xpra/client/ui_client_base.py", line 2980, in assign_signal_watcher_pid proc = subprocess.Popen("xpra_signal_listener", stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, close_fds=True, preexec_fn=os.setsid) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 390, in __init__ errread, errwrite) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1024, in _execute_child raise child_exception OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
The connection continues and I technically get a session, but no window forwarding - sound is working because I hear a "blorp" when my machine connects (no idea why, must be some default setting that got enabled on the server), so sound forwarding is working.
So, I perused the timeline and noticed that you added some threading to ensure gnome-shell will play nicely, and I run KDE, so on that hunch I rolled my client back to r17249 and it works fine. So that narrows it down to r17250.
Forgot some bits in r17250, fixed in r17253, see ticket:1350#comment:3 for details.

That's been the case for many months. See ticket:1617#comment:2 : we play the "bell" sample to ensure the cutter element is initialized on.
Upped client and server to r17263 and it's working again.
Closing.
