Need to connect to VM via Remmina first

Open robotictacos opened this issue 1 year ago • 24 comments

Hi, As the title indicates, to get Winapps to work I first have to connect to the Windows machine via Remmina. I have configured a docker VM per the README, and this works fine. If I connect to that VM via Remmina, then disconnect, WinApps works 100% perfectly. However, if I reboot (I am running Arch btw), then directly try to run any of the Windows apps (Excel for example), the app crashes. Here is what that looks like if I run bin/winapps check:

I have tried a couple of different versions of FreeRDP, and that does not seem to matter, but FWIW I am running the latest 3.5 from the git repository for that currently.

Are you running Wayland or X11?

oskardotglobal avatar Jun 09 '24 09:06 oskardotglobal

I normally run Wayland, but I rebooted and started an X11 session and retried it. It acts exactly the same, including working fine after logging in via Remmina.

robotictacos avatar Jun 09 '24 17:06 robotictacos

@robotictacos does the new patch #108 fixes your problem?

LDprg avatar Jun 10 '24 17:06 LDprg

No that did not make any appreciable difference that I can see.

robotictacos avatar Jun 10 '24 18:06 robotictacos

Same problem here. If I open start an app I get a full-screen (spanning across both my monitors) empty black FreeRDP window. I can't close it, have to kill it with the task manager.

Remmina connects just fine.

~edit: at first I was able to run Remmina and then use Winapps just fine, but after a restart I always get the black window, even when starting a previously created app like explorer.exe!~ this fixed itself for some reason

eylenburg avatar Jun 14 '24 11:06 eylenburg

I think I found a regularity. After a reboot, if I start a Winapps app immediately, I get a huge black FreeRDP window spanning all monitors and with no window decorations. Have to start the task manager and kill the window. However, if after a reboot, I use Remmina to connect to the Windows VM, then close Remmina, and then start the same Winapps app, it works perfectly fine. It's really weird.

My system is Fedora Kinoite, Plasma 6 desktop, Wayland, freerdp 3.5.1, and I'm using the Docker image for the Windows VM.

eylenburg avatar Jun 21 '24 08:06 eylenburg

Seems like this weird wayland bugs. We probably cannot help with this until sdl-freerdp supports RAIL.

LDprg avatar Jun 21 '24 08:06 LDprg

I don't think it's Wayland.  I can open a desktop session in X11 and have the same result.

Same issue on ubuntu 24.04

IshmaelBelghazi avatar Jun 22 '24 08:06 IshmaelBelghazi

Can one of you try to report this on the FreeRDP issue tracker if the issue also occurs when running the freerdp commands outside of freerdp?

oskardotglobal avatar Jun 22 '24 11:06 oskardotglobal

I think I know how to resolve this: after starting the VM go to http://localhost:8006 and make sure to sign out before connecting to freerdp

@IshmaelBelghazi @robotictacos

oskardotglobal avatar Jun 29 '24 07:06 oskardotglobal

Is there a way to automate it with a bash script?

eylenburg avatar Jun 29 '24 08:06 eylenburg

Try disabling autologin from within the VM, if that works we can include it in the image

oskardotglobal avatar Jun 29 '24 08:06 oskardotglobal

EDIT: Got rid of autologin by defining a password for the Docker user. However, even with that setup, I still have to login via Remmina once before Winapps starts to work.

robotictacos avatar Jul 02 '24 13:07 robotictacos

Have you found any solution? This is such an annoying bug and it's probably really easy to solve but I can't figure it out

eylenburg avatar Jul 05 '24 08:07 eylenburg

Maybe something is missing when configuring the vm. Remmina maybe just set those values temporarily when connecting and leaves them after reboot.

Does this also apply on a new vm whiteout using remmina? Maybe remmina changes som3 rdp related settings?

LDprg avatar Jul 05 '24 08:07 LDprg

In the VM, I disabled auto-login:

  1. Win + R for the "run" dialogue
  2. Enter netplwiz
  3. Check the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" option

Then I restarted my computer and could launch a program with Winapps without the black window I encountered before. I'll keep an eye on it but that's a potential solution.

It is not working . Possibly some other reason

cleanerspam avatar Aug 08 '24 14:08 cleanerspam

Hi, I think this is due to the large scaling that remmina sets, which satisfies xorg?

Clyde6790pGIT avatar Oct 11 '24 10:10 Clyde6790pGIT

This is also discussed in #406 and #506, disabling autologin (Enable Autologin) worked for me.

thomaslettau avatar May 14 '25 12:05 thomaslettau

This has been resolved upstream by @kroese a while ago. A blank RDP password is disallowed now, so there should be no more automatic logins.

Can someone confirm this is still happening on the latest version of the docker/podman image?

oskardotglobal avatar May 14 '25 12:05 oskardotglobal

It is still happening.

thomaslettau avatar May 14 '25 12:05 thomaslettau

I've gone ahead and pinned a workaround in the discussions tab, but this shouldn't occur anymore if the image is up to date AND the VM has been created with that version of the image

This worked for me. I had the same issue, came here to find out if it was a known one and followed the logout of the user the winapps setup worked.

Latest image version - brand new setup. Thanks.
