Hi All,
I'm trying to install VM horizon view client to my Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit, I tried download vmware website download page.
But no response while I click to install the downloaded package. I'm unable to find in the software centre.
I've checked the option from "Canonical Partners -> Software packaged by canonical for their partners "
Please help me to get install the VM Horizon view client in my Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit machine.
Note: Ubuntu is my base machine, not any virtual box machine.
Thank you,
Dhanasekaran.
please download the installer bundle from https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_horizon_clients/4_0, and the installer wizard will guide you to install the client.
The Update of Ubuntu software center may delay some time, so not recommend to use ubuntu software center to install horizon client now!
Hi Michel, Thank you for your response. I've downloaded the installer bundle and tried the bundle to install. tried both 4.2.0 and 4.0.1 versions.
But I don't know how to install, If I double click the package there is no response and once I right click I can get the gedit option.
Please guide me how to install the installer package. which one will be suitable for 16.04 64 bit machine.
Your guidance will be great helpful for me.
Thanks in Advance.
Please refer the user guide, page 15 https://www.vmware.com/pdf/horizon-view/horizon-client-linux-42-document.pdf
And please note, the Ubuntu 16.04 is still not the official supported Linux OS, so you could probably hit some unexpected issues. We now are recommending Ubuntu 14.04 as Horizon client OS.
Thank you Michal, I'll try Installing Horizon View in 14.04.5 and let you know the challenges.
Thanks for using Horizon Linux client and looking forward to your further feedback.
I've Installed Ubuntu 14.04.5 and successfully installed the horizon view bundle "sudo sh "package name"
And I'm getting this error as follows --
"
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$ vmware-view
/usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$
"
How can I make this fix to work vmware-view to work..?
Thank you for get this fix and work.
This error indicates libudev0 missing on your system and vmware-view need it. so two methods here to eliminate this error, 1.) install libudev0 2.) make a soft link file, libudev.so.0, and link to the installed libudev library, it's libudev.s0.1 for Ubuntu 14.04
Thanks for your inputs, I tried to install libudev0, but its not available in 14.04.5. So I tried install "libudev1"
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libudev
libudev1 libudev-dev
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libudev1
-------------------
Then, I tried to make a soft link as mention---
"sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1"
-------------------
I tried to run vmware-view in terminal, still I'm geting the same error
-------------------
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$ sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$ vmware-view
/usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dhana@Dhana-Ubuntu:~$
Please let me know how to install libudev in 14.04.5 | 64 bit machine.
Thank you so much putting effort on this.
The command you used to create the soft link should be sudo ln -sf /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0, and to double confirm the file was create successfully, you'd better to check if the libudev.so.0 existing after run above command.
Thanks a lot, Its got worked out.
Your suggestions are very worth to get this worked.
Now I can able to login and I'm in production from home in week ends. 🙂 🙂
With out your help I couldn't do this. Once again Thanks Many for your kind full helping & valuable suggestions..
Have a Great Week end !!
Regards,
Dhanasekaran V
I was able to install 4.2 in 16.04, with some minor tweaks to get things working.

3. Example: installed libglibmm with "sudo apt install libglibmm-*"
4. Some packages were installed with newer/different versions so a soft link fixed that:
This fixes libudev "sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.6.4 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0"
This fixes libssl "sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.2"
This fixes libcrypto "sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.2"
5. Once "ldd" was showing dependencies corrected I was able to launch and connect to my View Server
6. I have one issue that I have not resolved, my Server info is not saved, so every connection I have to retype the Server name/IP to connect. Was able to save my most recent connection, so everything that I use on a regular basis is now working.
For Ubuntu 16.04 use
from https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libffi5/download
and install the package via dpkg -i
