There are two different errors to install in Ubuntu 24.04 LXD

[eu4you]

Hello.
May the Lord grant you His grace and peace.

I'm trying to install logos on lxd.

lxc launch ubuntu:24.04 lxd_name --profile default --profile x11
lxc exec lxd_name /bin/bash

I then installed lightdm, xfce4, and tightvncserver.

apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt install lighdm xfce4 tightvncserver

And I tried to install logos.

apt install patch lsof wget sed grep gawk winbind cabextract x11-apps bc

apt install build-essential tcl-dev tk-dev libreadline-dev
apt install python3-pip libssl-dev python3-tk

adduser logos
su logos

In the GUI, it gets stuck here and won't let me proceed. It repeats this error several times a second.
In the CLI, as you can see, it only throws one error and then passes.

File "/home/logos/LogosLinuxInstaller-4.0.0-alpha.6/wine.py", line 205, in run_wine_proc

3. if I comment out all lines 203-206 of wine.py and run it again with the CLI, I get the error below.

I`m not a computer major, nor am I a programmer, so I'm having a very hard time figuring this out. What should I do?

[thw26]

Thank you for reporting this, and sorry for the delay. May the Lord be gracious to you and make his face to shine upon you!

I have yet to see this issue.

@n8marti, have you seen this? I don't think I've touched that part of the code for a while. You last touched it on 2024/4/10, but that was just to add noqa.

[n8marti]

So it's trying to find a wine registry value so that wine cmd's output uses the right text encoding. That registry value doesn't appear to exist, so it returns None instead, which can't be parsed for the correct codepage value. But I think the actual problem might have more to do with the fact that this is in an lxd container.

Choose wine binary…

This seems to show that wine isn't actually found, which makes me think that the appimage isn't running correctly in the lxd container. @eu4you, are you sure you have the basic lxd container setup correctly for using GUI apps? It seems like there might more steps needed than what you've shown above (see e.g. https://dev.to/amabe_dev/how-to-run-gui-apps-in-lxd-containers-882). There might be other "missing" parts, too, since lxd containers are minimal systems. We might not explicity check for all the needed dependencies, because certain ones might be installed on all linux-based desktop systems but still be missing from an lxd container.

This may, or may not be related, but I just tried an install on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 system. I got a similar error. Manually installing winetricks as per the ubuntu/ debain install instructions seems to have fixed the issue.
