What version of Windows are you trying to connect to? Its weird already that the full desktop comes up on the check
argument, as this normally only opens the windows explorer.
Hi, I'm using Windows 10
Windows 10 Home?
Hi, I'm using Windows 10 Pro 20H2 19042.985
Same issue here with Windows 10 Pro 20H2. Could be possible to increase the logging info on the DEBUG flag to know what could be the problem?
Run echo $LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI
and share the output.
If nothing is printed to the console, edit your environment variables (/etc/enviroment
or /etc/enviromental
depending on the distribution, any search engine is your friend) and add this line: LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system
Seems is the expected output:
(conda_dev) gonluisr@gonluisr-HP-ZBook-15-G3:~/github/winapps$ echo $LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI
qemu:///system
In addition, the log file when DEBUG is true:
conda_dev) gonluisr@gonluisr-HP-ZBook-15-G3:~/github/winapps$ cat ~/.local/share/winapps/winapps.log

[mié 3 nov 09:57:44 CST 2021-27699] 1:install
[mié 3 nov 09:57:44 CST 2021-27699] 2:
[mié 3 nov 09:57:44 CST 2021-27699] @:install
[mié 3 nov 09:57:44 CST 2021-27699] END
As side note, am using the FQDN of the VM, for external reasons I cannot change the hostname to RDPWindows.
Something else we could check?
Was doing some testing and I think the installer.sh get stuck on line 44, I was increasing the counter to 35 thinking was not enough time to complete, but no clue. https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/blob/7689ab8aa168a8d2b2d5ca75e8d26fb173760e72/installer.sh#L44
Can you login through a normal rdp client ? Have you run the .reg file as written in the documentation ? I haven't put ignore-cert arguments, first time it asked me to trust definitively
Most probably your version of freerdp (just like mine) does not pass /app-cmd: correctly. The hostname is not a problem - defining the IP address in winapps.conf is enough.
You can try the following and see if the "dir" command is executed in cmd after it's started:
(. ~/.config/winapps/winapps.conf; xfreerdp ${RDP_FLAGS} /u:"${RDP_USER}" /p:"${RDP_PASS}" /v:"${RDP_IP}" /scale:"${RDP_SCALE}" /dynamic-resolution /span /app:'%windir%\system32\cmd.exe' /app-cmd:dir)
If not, then your version of freerdp has this problem. I have managed to patch installer.sh in order to install properly even with this issue. You can do the same by editing the following line in ~/.local/bin/winapps as shown in the following diff:

This problem also prevents passing the file name when e.g. trying to open a Word document from the Linux desktop. I can live with this for the moment because you can simply start the Windows explorer, use it to navigate to wherever you need and open whatever file using the corresponding Windows application.
I've also made a few more changes as follows:
These are the switches I use in winapps.conf:
RDP_FLAGS="+home-drive +fonts +clipboard +auto-reconnect +aero"

Hi, I don't understand why but
bin/winapps check
is fully OK (login OK, I see the entire Windows desktop trough xfreerdp), but when I run ./installer.sh it ends saying this :Everything seems OK and well configured, but still doesn't work. I even renamed my virtual machine 'RDPWindows' and set the Windows hostname to 'RDPWindows', no change. Here is my .config/winapps/winapps.conf :
I already merged RDPApps.reg, and even checked if the keys are set in the registry, it's okay.
I also tried a manual start with
bin/winapps manual "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
and it works partially... it's weird : xfreerdp shows up and login, I see the desktop, but nothing more is happening ! Outlook doesn't start ! (But it does if I just double click on OUTLOOK.EXE)
