All apps are here but can't open?

[Edwin1212256756]

I can see all my apps but when i launch any of them i get this error:

I got explorer to run with: bin/winapps check but i can't open explorer in the men.

[oskardotglobal]

Please symlink the winapps executable to ~/.local/bin/winapps

[oskardotglobal]

Also duplicate of #89, but gonna keep this issue as you actually show an error message here

[oskardotglobal]

Furthermore, please make sure you're actually following our installation guide and have our version of the source instead of the abandoned version by fmstrat

[Edwin1212256756]

Now that i've reinstalled my whole linux, i followed the new guide made by y'all.

got the VM working with docker but when i run the check command, i just see a black screen:

My config file: RDP_USER="docker" RDP_IP="127.0.0.1"

RDP_PASS="MyWindowsPassword"

RDP_DOMAIN="MYDOMAIN"

RDP_SCALE=100

RDP_FLAGS=""

MULTIMON="true"

DEBUG="true"

FREERDP_COMMAND="xfreerdp"

[oskardotglobal]

Please install freerdp3 and uninstall freerdp2.

[Edwin1212256756]

The test command works fine, opens explorer fine.

The RDP connection failed to connect or run. Please confirm FreeRDP can connect with: bin/winapps check

If it cannot connect, this is most likely due to:

• You need to accept the security cert the first time you connect (with 'check')
• Not enabling RDP in the Windows VM
• Not being able to connect to the IP of the VM
• Incorrect user credentials in winapps.conf
• Not merging install/RDPApps.reg into the VM

But the test command works fine?

@Edwin1212256756 Please try the latest commits in that PR

[Edwin1212256756]

Still same issue, but before the error about the vm not running, it opens the vm like the login screen and it logs and and closes and opens a command promt for like 0.1 second and closes and after a while the vm not running error comes in the console.

[oskardotglobal]

Are you running freerdp3?

[Edwin1212256756]

think so, freerdp outputs nothing because it's not installed, but xfreerdp3 works so i guess so

[Edwin1212256756]

once i start the install script, i can see xfreerdp3 starts to life

[Alchemi1963]

I am experiencing these same issues. Confirmed the freerdp version is 3.5.1

I'd also like the add that bin/winapps manual "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.exe" does work.

For relevance: I'm running Arch + KDE Plasma + Wayland

[oskardotglobal]

Yeah, freerdp on wayland seems like the culprit here, did you try changing xfreerdp3 to wlfreerdp (or whatever it's called on your distro) in the config?

[Alchemi1963]

Update: it is not wayland related. I tried wlfreerdp3 but it failed completely, xfreerdp3 works as intented (I tried inputting the command installer.sh uses and it worked, except for the cmd part)

I found that since installer.sh uses printf, the lines aren't written to the installed.bat file as intended which breaks it. This is the case on at least on my installation (ArchLinux - GNU coreutils v9.5).

I suspect this is also the case for @Edwin1212256756 . This also explains why @Edwin1212256756 saw freerdp3 running, but nothing else. And why I did see cmd open for a brief second and exit (it's because it didn't do anything because of the broken command.

The broken changes of printf are that \\ is printed as \ and newlines aren't a thing. This means every command is directly followed by the next one and the UNC path begins with \tsclient instead of \tsclient

[LDprg]

wlfreerdp doesn't support app only streaming, so you are only able to stream the full Windows. Try with x11.

@Alchemi1963 Your Winapps version fixed my issue, thanks a lot!
