Good day Samy

Sorry for the late reply but I think I've managed to get things working 
here. In my case, I had to install "xserver-xorg-input-mouse" and 
"xserver-xorg-input-kbd" to get xpra working.
I installed Xpra from the Xpra repository.

Thank you for the help.

Kind regards

                  Thank you for the reply. In Ubuntu, x11-xkb-utils is
                  marked as a <br>
                  dependency for Xorg and so it was automatically
                  installed. I also tried <br>
                  running xkbcomp from the terminal and got the output:
                  "Error:            <br>
                  No input file specified" which means it is definitely
                  installed.<br>
                  Sorry if this message is a duplicate but I can't find
                  the one I sent <br>
                  before in the mailing list.<br>
                  <br>
                  Kind regards<br>
