VMWare Horizon Client #1341

Closed DaveDischord closed 2 years ago

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

Cool ideas?

Would it be possible to add VMWare Horizon Client? You can find the v2111 tar here: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/en/downloads/details?downloadGroup=CART22FH2_LIN_2111_TARBALL&productId=1027&rPId=62297#product_downloads

and the Doc here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Linux/2111/rn/vmware-horizon-client-for-linux-2111-release-notes/index.html#whats-new

Do you know if it runs on Raspberry Pi?

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

Yes. I have got it installed and tested to an extent on a pi 4.

After a huge work of extracting tarball and copying binaries, I got it launched:

Crilum commented 2 years ago

@cycool29 would it be possible to put it in a deb?

cycool29 commented 2 years ago

@cycool29 would it be possible to put it in a deb?

Yes, but I need someone to test the app. I am not a VMWare user.

I will put the deb here later.

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

I have a few Pis I've wanted to install it on, so I'll happily test it out.

@cycool29?

cycool29 commented 2 years ago

Sorry, I've forgotten about this.

Here is the deb: https://transfer.sh/L1MSGG/vmware-horizon-client_2111-8.4.0-18957622_armhf.deb

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

OK. So I had Horizon Client 2106 installed. Using your package, it successfully updated to 2111 and the application worked fine. I also installed on a fresh rPi OS and it seems to be working as well. I will try with different scenarios.

OK, so after an attempt to install on rpiOS 64-bit, I got the following: sudo dpkg -i vmware-horizon-client_2111-8.4.0-18957622_armhf.deb Selecting previously unselected package vmware-horizon-client:armhf.

I'll see if there are more dependencies that need to be included.

Botspot commented 2 years ago

You don't generally want to be installing armhf applications in an arm64 OS. Someone will have to make a deb for arm64.

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

I found the install.sh file for my manual installation of 2106 here I manually ran these lines: apt-get install libudev1 libxss1 ln -s /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libudev.so.1 /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libudev.so.0 but I'm still getting the same message.

Crilum commented 2 years ago

@DaveDischord Maybe try installing with apt:

sudo apt install vmware-horizon-client_2111-8.4.0-18957622_armhf.deb

Apt will try to install all the dependencies.

Unless you enabled multiarch and added an armhf repository, that won't work. And it's not a good idea unless you know exactly what you're doing. Someone will simply have to build an arm64 deb.

cycool29 commented 2 years ago

OK, so after an attempt to install on rpiOS 64-bit, I got the following:

It is not gonna work, as the DEB is for 32-bit.

Someone will have to make a deb for arm64.

No, it is only available on armhf.

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

Gotcha. I'll keep the testing to 32-bit.

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

Alright. The deb seems to install pretty well on rpiOS and TwisterOS. I've been able to install and launch as well as connect to a Horizon server and into a Windows 11 VDI, all in about 2 minutes.

cycool29 commented 2 years ago

https://transfer.sh/Sd9W2d/vmware-horizon-client_1.0_armhf.deb

@DaveDischord Can you test again this DEB?

DaveDischord commented 2 years ago

I've installed it. Once on top of an existing install, once after uninstalling the previous install, then installing, and once on a fresh OS. All installed and worked as far as functionality. The only thing I noticed was, with installing on top of the existing install, it claimed to be 'downgrading to 1.0', however, as far as the version listed in-app, it's the same/latest available. If you did this for a separate pi-app version control, then it worked as intended. I'm sorry. I must have missed this notification or I would have gotten to it sooner.

Yes, I use 1.0 instead of 2111-8.4.0-18957622. That is normal.

I opened a PR to upload the file on files repo: https://github.com/Pi-Apps-Coders/files/pull/26.
