Bug installing on Windows WSL? something missing?
ozett opened this issue · comments
trying to install the explorer in WSL (ubuntu 20.04 LTS, python 3.8).
install went smooth, but on start there are errors.
any hints to overcome this?
installing bluez did not help
installing bluez-tools did not help
not possible? not in kernel for WSL?

maybe workaround? too much hassle..

Thanks for trying this out on a configuration I hadn't thought about! If I'm reading correctly, the most viable approach would be with USB/IP indeed.
Do you really need to run this package on WSL? Why not on the Windows host system?
as i am no developer but willing to try my best,
i simply dont know how to "start" t on python on windows without having an executable.
i have installed visual-studio-code and for platfrom.io there seems somewhere a python win32.
i am in doubt, if that overcomes hardware-access to the bluetooth-devices...
Just install Python from the Microsoft Store on Windows.
Then type pip install humble-explorer in a command prompt.
After this, you should be able to run humble-explorer in a command prompt.

it scrolling fast, i cannot read anything.
how to freeze?
Type S for settings and then disable auto-scroll in the sidebar that appears.
Or type T to pause or resume the scan.
