I followed the steps for running x programs.
Thanks.

I am having trouble finding the directory that contains MSBuild.exe associated with .NET framework version 4.7. I installed netfx-4.7-devpack with Chocolatey, but I don't see where the installer places the package files.

Summary

When I try to use the LoWe system, it presents multiple errors and fails to run mplayer. The client complains about I/O errors and unable to load config.

When I tap the Enabled button in the LoWeExposer ALSA tab once, nothing happens.

When I tap the Enabled button a second time, that triggers some kind of WSACancelBlockingCall error.

Trace (PowerShell)

PS C:\Users\andrew\go\src\github.com\kpocza\LoWe\src\LoWeExposer\out> .\LoWeExposer.exe

Screenshot

I ran build.cmd and even tried to do it by second method in Visual Studio, but no LoWeExposer.exe was generated.
This happened when I tried to run loweagent :-

Question

Keyboard and Mouse not working while follow the doc of running x window

P.S. English is not my native language. Sorry about any grammar or typing mistakes.

Environment

Windows side: 16257.1000, Visual Studio 15.3.2, .NET Framework 4.7.02542

Both Debug and Release build failed on this.

Linux side: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial, x86_64 Linux 4.4.0-43-Microsoft, gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4), zsh 5.1.1, make 4.1, download from Windows Store.

Build with make command

What did

1. Run LoWeExposer.exe in Windows.
2. Run loweagent -e X -o x.log in WSL.
3. Run unity in another WSL terminal.

What happens

A unity Desktop appear in the FrameBuffer Window, but I can't move the cursor in the window. No responce for keyboard as well.

Output of loweagent -e X -o x.log

Output of unity

Output of Exposer

x.log file

When trying to run loweagent, the application does not start.

Input
./loweagent -e libreoffice

Output

[INFO]{config}: Config loaded successfully
[INFO]{main}: Determining program mode from exec param: vlc
[INFO]{main}: Main program name is vlc
[ERR]{main}: Unable to resolve app config

LoWeExposer is active and enabled on Windows. I had built it using build.cmd using the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017. The build had completed successfully.

The Windows version is 1803 and Ubuntu version on WSL is 18.04

master's readme says:

LoWe officially supports Windows 10 Redstone 2 (aka Creators Update) running Ubuntu 16 LTS. If you're still running Windows 10 Anniversary Update with Ubuntu 14 LTS then please checkout w10auu14 branch.

This branch supports Windows 10 Anniversary Update only with Ubuntu 14 LTS. Windows 10 Creators Update running Ubuntu 16 LTS support is under heavy construction in branch w10rs2u16 which is not fully working yet.

Seems to be conflicting information right next to each other. This is neither w10auu14 nor w10rs2u16, this is master, so it is not clear to me what environment is supported by the master branch - CU? AU? both? none? 😕

Hi guys,

Could you have a look whether KDE konsole works?

If so, could you make a mention?

I played around but without LoWe so far and I have had troubles getting kde konsole to work,
in particular I cuold not type anything (I was using xming though; that is why I would like to know whether it works on LoWe, then I could try it).

Thanks!

Hey,

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on whether LoWe would be a good fit for running GUI apps on remote Linux systems from Windows?

The project does not build unless unistd.h is included in a few device-related files.
Errors are as follows:

Dear @kpocza
In my opinion, you should change the names of some files to lowercase as follows:

• before

LoWe/src/LoWeExposer/LoWeExposer/
ALSAExposer.xaml
ALSAExposer.xaml.cs

• after

LoWe/src/LoWeExposer/LoWeExposer/
AlsaExposer.xaml

I'm in the habit of copying my binaries from github/.../out directories to a more permanent location such as ~/bin. However, when I try to launch LoWeExposer.exe from this directory, it quickly terminates without popping up the GUI, nor does it present any error messages.

@kpocza please upload the compiled LoWeExposer. I successfully compiled the LoWeAgent but am unable to compile LoWExposer because I do not have the required msbuild tools. Please upload the executable to help me (and may be some others like me)
