It doesn’t work on Alpine Linux, neither with Libvirt nor with Docker.

[Rosnerv]

Hello,

I’ve been trying to get Winapps working on Alpine Linux, but no matter what I do, it doesn’t connect to the virtual machine with Libvirt or the Docker container. I believe I have all the dependencies installed; however, since it’s a distro that uses Musl instead of Glibc, I’m not sure if any additional configuration is needed. The error when running the Winapps installer is always the same: it can’t find the virtual machine in Libvirt, it can’t find Windows, or it can’t connect to the container with FreeRDP.

Can you please help me?

I use ChatGPT for translate.

Here, the help stinks; it's unbelievable that no one says anything, neither those who maintain this nor anyone else.

That's why many lose motivation and leave Linux, because help is scarce, and even with ChatGPT now, it was worse before...

Let me rephrase that for you: "Thanks for spending your time to write and maintain free software for anyone to use and trying to support users and fix bugs, even though people open no-effort issues along the lines of 'it doesnt work pls fix'."

Maybe ChatGPT can write you a better piece of software? We're always interested in new opportunities to enhance WinApps. Feel free to open a pull request.

Permíteme reformular eso para ti: "Gracias por dedicar tu tiempo a escribir y mantener software libre para que cualquiera pueda usarlo y tratar de ayudar a los usuarios y corregir errores, incluso cuando la gente abre problemas sin esfuerzo del tipo 'no funciona, por favor arréglalo'".

¿Quizás ChatGPT pueda escribirte un software mejor? Siempre nos interesan nuevas oportunidades para mejorar WinApps. No dudes en abrir una solicitud de incorporación de cambios.

Hello friend, I believe you don't understand the point. I have been trying everything to make WinApps work on Alpine Linux KDE Plasma 3.20, and I haven't achieved anything. That's why I'm turning to official support, which I believe is yours. However, I can't find any information or support, and that's why I'm frustrated.

In all other distros that use Systemd, there are no problems; I have even gotten WinApps to work on Void Linux, which uses runit. However, in the distro that is most commonly used for Docker containers, I haven't been able to. I don't know if it's a problem with the distro, if something is missing, or if WinApps is not compatible with Alpine because it uses Musl instead of Glibc and OpenRC instead of Systemd. Honestly, I don't know.

What I do know is that I want it to work, and I would appreciate any help.

Please share more information about your problem (logs, screenshots, ...)

You will have to build FreeRDP3 from source though, it seems like even the alpine edge repositories only contain FreeRDP2

Please view the log at /home/rosner/.local/share/winapps/FreeRDP_Test_20241022_0552_.log.
Troubleshooting Tips:

• Ensure the user is logged out of Windows prior to initiating the WinApps installation.
• Ensure the credentials within the WinApps configuration file are correct.
• Utilise a new certificate by removing relevant certificate(s) in /home/rosner/.config/freerdp/server.
• If using 'libvirt', ensure the Windows VM is correctly named as specified within the README.
• If using 'libvirt', ensure 'Remote Desktop' is enabled within the Windows VM.
• If using 'libvirt', ensure you have merged 'RDPApps.reg' into the Windows VM's registry.
• If using 'libvirt', try logging into and back out of the Windows VM within 'virt-manager' prior to initiating the WinApps installation.

It only doesn't connect with Winapps; when connecting directly with FreeRDP, it does connect.

[oskardotglobal]

This seems to be the same issue as #270

[Rosnerv]

Este parece ser el mismo problema que el número 270

Unfortunately, none of the proposed solutions in those issues resolve the error.

The same happens with the Docker version.
