[Win10] Trying to use either symlinks or network drive locations borks Lanraragi

[Hakker]

LRR Version and OS
Win10 0.67 installation. Didn't had luck in Docker also although that could be my wrongdoing

Bug Details
Using either symlinks ( mklink /D ) or mapped network drives makes Lanraragi not respond and throwing you the default browsers error page. putting in a normal directory and it works again although it will not scan symlinked folders. and simply goes kaput.

Matching Logs
can't find it yet so I made a screenshot of it

Screenshots
https://prnt.sc/qhyjnc
first one is a symlink from the D drive and 3rd folder but then a subfolder which refers to the S drive.
The second one is the actual S drive location.
3rd one is working but shows nothing.

I'll have to try a bit on my side, but looking at the screenshot this seems like either a limitation of WSL or Perl's File::Find with NTFS links -- Not sure it's an easy fix.

[Difegue]

For network drives, I thought those were auto-mounted by WSL like regular NTFS drives, but apparently not! According to this post, you have to create the mountpoint manually.
mkdir /mnt/y && mount -t drvfs Y: /mnt/y

After that, launching LRR will work as usual. Detecting and pre-mounting network drives before launching the app is a reasonable enhancement request.

mklink /D symlinks simply resolve to the original destination when putting them in the settings pane, so there's nothing to fix here it seems.

I hope you tested this and that it works, because here the new release doesn't fix it. Also can't give a log or even a screenshot because the launcher that should open the log says it can't find it.

Worked when I tested it, thanks for assuming that much. 😅
Not sure I understand your second sentence tho, do you mean that the status console isn't showing at all when you try to open it?

[Hakker]

No when opening the log through the tray app I get the following:

Error: Could not find config file ./tools/DockerSetup/supervisord.conf For help, use /usr/bin/supervisord -h
Also later on I get to see the following when adding a network share.
touch: content: no such file or directory

I simply try to select a network share in Karen in this case T:\share\comics on port 5151 which is open but firefox here after starting simply gives me an unable to connect on localhost:5151

[Difegue]

/tools/DockerSetup means you're using an old version of the launcher somehow -- The path to the supervisord.conf file has changed since then.

[Hakker]

you were right for some reason an old instance of karen was still being launched. When removing it manually it worked.
A small note to check since I didn't specifically check for it is if the uninstaller removes Karen during uninstallation. I didn't uninstall before installing the new version which might have caused the issue. I hope this will help.

[Difegue]

I'll add a todo to my list to check if karen is properly replaced during upgrades -- This is normally handled by WiX on its own but well, you never know. Glad you got it working!
