Hi,

“xType” command is not performing any Type actions when automating the Linux 20.1 virtual machine.

Here is the JSON script for your reference.

JSON:
{
“Name”: “runJams”,
“CreationDate”: “2023-8-22”,
“Commands”: [
{
“Command”: “XClick”,
“Target”: “workspace_dpi_96.png”,
“Value”: “”,
“Description”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “XClick”,
“Target”: “lxterminal_dpi_96.png”,
“Value”: “#doubleclick”,
“Description”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “pause”,
“Target”: “2000”,
“Value”: “”,
“Description”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “XType”,
“Target”: “${KEY_r}”,
“Value”: “”,
“Description”: “”
},
{
“Command”: “XType”,
“Target”: “rcompose”,
“Value”: “”,
“Description”: “”
}
]
}

When you goto Xmodules in the UIV settings does it say Installed? and when you click “Test” what is the result? Maybe send a screen of your UIV Xmodules Settings.

That’s Windows, not Linux, based on the Windows 11 titlebars, and the path for your Home folder being c:\ [ … ]

So, what part about the Linux VM is not being automated?
What exactly are you trying to do?
We will need some more info.

Thanks,

[Update]:
I do see your post at Unable to Automate Windows to Virtual Machine integration explaining some more information. Let’s continue working there.
