Windows does not exist.

[edwin1212256756]

Installing is no problem, but when i open any app i get a notification in the right corner from winapps, saying: Windows does not exist.

Could you share more info on your setup ? Linux distro ? Windows is running in docker or VM ?

[edwin1212256756]

Well i use arch running libvirt. Windows 11. i use wayland but i tried changing to x11 but came to no help.

[AkechiShiro]

Do you have the config file (~/.config/winapps/winapps.conf) ?

Could you paste it's content here ?

Hi @AkechiShiro , i have the same issue as i showed here:
#301 (comment)

Anyway i past here some logs and info :

I'm using libvirt as backend, Arch as distribution, Wayland as DE and ZSH as Shell.
I followed the guide for the VM with libvirt and everything worked well.
I've git cloned the winapps repo and executed ./setup.sh for the install wizard. If using bash <(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/winapps-org/winapps/main/setup.sh) , it gives me this error :

Anyway if i git clone and run ./setup.sh i can install the apps i want and them appears on Arch launcher. When i try to lunch them this error occurs. (I tried to install for the User and System either but same error)

if i run set -x ./winapps > output.txt 2>&1 the output is zsh: permission denied: ./winapps
if i run set -x ./winapps/setup.sh > output.txt 2>&1 the output is

Also experiencing this issue while using libvirt under Fedora 41. I've also noticed that my VM is not listed when I run virsh list --all but will appear when I run the same command as sudo.

[imoize]

@Zalaax do you set LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" to bashrc or zshrc ? vm installed in QEMU system or QEMU user session?

[Zalaax]

@imoize I know that the vm is installed as a user session, not sure about bashrc or zshrc as I'm not sure how to check

[Mizuna737]

Same issue here, on Arch using libvirt. Install works perfectly and clearly runs apps as the windows command prompt opens when it's scanning for apps.
