Hi,
I have installed rcloneview on Linux Mint and also on Ubuntu and they are in VMware Pro virtual machines and when I run the software it runs upside down in a foreign language. It doesn’t matter if I’m running the app image or the Debian installer they both do the same thing.
Running version 0.7.310
Any suggestions?
Hi,
This appears to be a known issue with recent versions of the Flutter engine:
Flutter window upside down on Linux Desktop under VMWare Workstation · Issue #163076 · flutter/flutter · GitHub
However, it doesn’t occur consistently. For example, we’re also developing a Linux version of our app using VMware, and we haven’t encountered this issue there.
We’ll need to wait for the Flutter team to address and fix this issue in a future update.
Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you for the information.
By the way, I’m running the cinnamon desktop on both machines. Perhaps another desktop would work? This might be why you haven’t seen the issue.
That could be the case. In a GitHub issue, one user mentioned that the problem doesn’t occur in a Wayland environment, so the desktop environment might indeed be a factor. It’s possible that Cinnamon is triggering the issue in some setups.

Hi,
I restarted my ubuntu with the regular desktop interface for ubuntu and your software works like its supposed to. Well, I’m not in vmware in this environment.
Inside vmware, even the normal default ubuntu doesn’t work right.
