Because of the Raspberry Pi's limited power, getting an answer from `displayfd` might take more than the ten seconds specified as the standard timeout. In order to change this, you can start xpra like this: ```shell xpra seamless --env=XPRA_DISPLAY_FD_TIMEOUT=30 ... ```Alternatively, always specify a display when use the xpra seamless subcommand.
