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>
