Windows does not exist. #349

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.

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

@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

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.

When installing VM make sure export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" is set in .zshrc or .bashrc, so VM is installed in system session not in user. The next problem if when launching the application, a notification appears saying: Windows does not exist. That's because LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" env is not read as in the script ~/.local/bin/winapps use shebang #!/usr/bin/env bash.

There are some workaround:

Try put export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" in .bashrc
Try put export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI="qemu:///system" directly in ~/.local/bin/winapps script after copyright text
Put LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system in global env /etc/environment

Try one by one which one works for you.

3. Put `LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system` in global env /etc/environment
Try one by one which one works for you.

For me exporting directly in ~/.local/bin/winapps solved the problem, i had the export in .zshrc but didn't work. Thanks

Thank you @bonzoskill That resolved the issue for me too. The .bashrc and /etc/environment locations didn't work.

@Sithuk i have clean the installation and after reinstall i have no more the file in the location ~/.local/bin/winapps. I added the line of code in /etc/environment and for me work too, the only one doesn't work is the first option in the file .zshrc

I’m not sure I logged out and back in again to trigger a reload of /etc/environment
So it might have worked there. I’ll need to re-test that.
