When using the " xfreerdp3 /u:“Your Windows Username” /p:“Your Windows Password” /v:192.168.122.2 /cert:tofu " command I can remote desktop with the viewer. The install fails because it can’t do what that command does? Using Libvirt KVM, Cachyos Arch, not sure if i’m better off trying this again with the docker method? Could using the github

This isnt reddit so I doubt any future searchers will see this, but winapps is very finnicky for gpu shit and even if it does work your linux side doesnt work while using it, the vm takes over the gpu? At least in my case, it made it pretty useless, works well for ms office and other cpu stuff to have them look like they run natively in windows, dont need that tho, needed gpu based stuff, prob just gonna stop using houdini til I can justify buying it (prob never) and swap to embergen/blender, houdini is just so much better than geo nodes tho, cant even get the official free linux version to work tho. Now im okay with pewdiepie liking linux, we need more ppl here, more software support.
Is the machine you’re trying to connect to using 192.168.122.2 or 192.168.122.124?
If it is 192.168.122.2 then what happens if you enter that as the RDP_IP in the configuration?I used the same exact ip for connecting and got the same error
Can I take that to mean that you can connect to the machine by running “xfreerdp3 /u:“Your Windows Username” /p:“Your Windows Password” /v:192.168.122.2 /cert:tofu” but when you edit the winapps config to RDP_IP=“192.168.122.2” you still get an error that you cannot connect to 192.168.122.124?
Im not the only one with this issue but no one has gotten replies, I saw a post with the same issue posted a few days ago on reddit
I tried it a few ways, blank initially to autodetect, and them with the ip from the computer, xrdp3 works, im able to use it to rdp in but the install fails
Yes
If you’re running arch-based then testing another netcat might help as mentioned here:
https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/issues/270Someone else had trouble with the vm returning multiple ips and solved it here:
https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/issues/432And finally you could try commenting out the port check as mentioned here:
https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/issues/260It was netcat, thank you! They tell you to install the wrong one for arch in the steps.
ill try those thanks
