Failed to up virtualbox emulator

[thgmhz]

Hi @raphamorim,

I'm trying to start the LG WebOS Emulator 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 but I'm getting this error:

I've already followed the instructions in the react-tv docs to configure the WebOS Environment and the Emulator works fine when I run through the desktop icon.

Do you have any idea how to fix this error?

Thanks!

Currently WebOS env fails on Linux #67 😢
I'm solving it for the next release.

[raphamorim]

Just for curiosity: Can you give the absolute path of LG_webOS_TV_Emulator_RCU?
It's in your $webOS_TV_SDK_ENV/../../Emulator

[thgmhz]

All right!

I think that's it: /usr/local/share/webOS_TV_SDK/Emulator/v3.0.0/.

But, I'm not finding the LG_webOS_TV_Emulator_RCU.app.

[raphamorim]

yup, .app is for MacOS/OSX only.
I'm trying to know if LG_webOS_TV_Emulator_linux_x64.jar is your executable.

[thgmhz]

Yes! It's executable.

I've run java -jar LG_webOS_TV_Emulator_linux_x64.jar -remocon and the emulator was opened.

[raphamorim]

Amazing, give me some minutes and I'll add a fix for it in a release.

[raphamorim]

@thiagommedeiros can you retry with react-tv@0.3.0-beta.2?

[raphamorim]

I just published it. Not sure about if it'll work.

[thgmhz]

Did not work.

But, instead of execSync I changed to exec method in the case 'linux' and it worked and the app runs. This only works when I open WebOS Emulator before execute the run-webos command. I think execSync don't work because the executable is blocking the command-line.

[raphamorim]

Make sense.
Can you send a PR with these changes?

[thgmhz]

Sure! I got it!

[raphamorim]

Question: using only exec works without Emulator opened?

[thgmhz]

No, it just opens the remote control. The VirtualBox don't open.
