"Window not found" (linux)

[twoheadedlamb]

the reason is very likely because i am using linux (debian 12) and running the program via Wine, but the program boots fine. When hitting the play button on the song it states "Failed to find target window" in an Wine error message.

Could try running the game in wine also. This was designed for windows. I should have made that a bit more apparent.

[Velkee]

The game doesn't have a native Linux build, so the game will most likely be running under Wine (or Steam's variation, Proton). I'll try to run the player under the same prefix as the game and report back if that works

[Velkee]

That doesn't seem to work either, can't find the songs folder when I try. I don't know the specifics of how this program works, but if it just sends keyboard signals to play then making it Linux-compatible should be possible

got it working with protontricks personally. here's what i did:

1. install pipx (im on pop os so it was just sudo apt install pipx)
2. install protontricks (pipx install protontricks)
3. download guitar player from releases
4. unzip
5. cd into the GuitarPlayer folder
6. run protontricks-launch --appid 3146520 ./MIDIProcessor.exe for the midi processor
7. run protontricks-launch --appid 3146520 ./Guitar\ Player\ v1.1.0.exe for the player

works just fine for me! hope it works for you

tried it on never meant by american football, made sure to have only the main guitar as the midi.... nope it still sounds bad :P

well it can only do so much, if it's playing then it's probably playing as well as it can (regardless of Wine). but re: the original issue of it not recognizing the window, maybe it would be worth including the instructions I provided in the readme. if nobody else makes a PR I'll probably do so next time I am at my PC and remember ^^

Gday

I'm running into this issue again with the protontricks-launch lines from the README.

I am using a Flatpak installation of Steam, which might be having some issues with sandboxing.

Edit: I have also tried with Steam installed normally via rpmfusion, it also does not work. I am on Fedora 40.

[rayzr522]

did you install protontricks via pipx, flatpak, or something else?

if pipx + using a system steam installation didn't work, I'm not sure

if flatpak, you may need to check the protontricks readme for instructions on how to grant filesystem access to your steam library

if something else like your system package manager, you may need to confirm that it's actually the latest protontricks version. I originally installed protontricks via apt on Pop!_OS, only to realize it was like 5 versions out of date and broken hence why I ended up doing pipx instead

[sealldeveloper]

I have tried:

• pipx and system (via rpmfusion from the GNOME Software application)
• pipx and flatpak, I haven't checked the protontricks README though

I did not install protontricks via dnf at all, so I do not think its outdated protontricks.

Edit: It seems protontricks has its own Flatpak for Flatpak purposes, I will let you know how that goes.

Edit 2: Same error occurs with the Flatpak installation, I installed it with these steps:

$ flatpak install flathub com.github.Matoking.protontricks
$ echo "alias protontricks='flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.zshrc
$ echo "alias protontricks-launch='flatpak run --command=protontricks-launch com.github.Matoking.protontricks'" >> ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc

I then executed the program:

$ protontricks-launch --appid 3146520  Guitar\ Player\ V1.1.3.exe

Same error

my player has native linux support, u can just use that if you'd like @sealldeveloper

Did use I just prefer the UI this provides, it seems to work but not with different resolutions (similar to this one).

Had to compile for myself on Fedora but it should work on 1920x1080 when I do a resize.

[sealldeveloper]

Update, this seems to have its own host of issues such as double playing notes, and other problems. It does function but not nearly as well as this project.

I will make an issue there for now.

[rayzr522]

@sealldeveloper id rather not put this burden on the repo owner as I was the one who added the Linux instructions. I recently got this working again on a fresh Arch install, and id be curious to debug why it's not working for you... if you'd like to try and debug it together my discord is foxfirexo!

Happy to do, sent a friend request.
