I had installed flutter on windows 10, created a project (default), the project runs in chrome and edge but not as windows desktop application it starts with the windows frame (no content are displayed) after couple of seconds reports

"Lost connection to device."

The Code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  // This widget is the root of your application.
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      _counter  ;
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            const Text(
              'You have pushed the button this many times:',
            ),
            Text(
              '$_counter',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
        tooltip: 'Increment',
        child: const Icon(Icons.add),
      ), // This trailing comma makes auto-formatting nicer for build methods.
    );
  }
}

Is there anything I am missing in the installation of flutter in windows 10?, the same setup is running as expected under Linux.

flutter run -d windows -v log

Note: windows 10 running as guest in virtual-box with Linux Mint as Host

CodePudding user response：

Ok, after lot of testing and reading found the limitation of 3D support in Virtualbox, migrated the windows guest to Vmware player and now the flutter desktop application getting build and displayed normally.

The problem still persist in the guest OS installed in Virtualbox.

Since the desktop is running now, I am marking it as solved
