I have a Dell inspriron 13 5378 (i5 7200u) with touch screen. (1080) I tried to use the VMWare horizon view client to access the company's VDI. Our company use this workspace to first login in browser and then start the VDI (using browser or using client). I installed the latest horizon view client from their website (64-bit executable). It will start the client, then get to the black screen and crash in a minute or so. I tied 5.5 and it crashes as well.
The browser vdi works fine. The client also works fine with the windows version in the same machine. I also used it with another old laptop and it works fine too( also with ubuntu mate 20.04).
I checked the log at /tmp/vware-{user} and nothing jumped out.
I installed Mint 20 Cinnimon and it rashed the same way.
Also, I passed the Authentication window, then the load desktop screen. The whole thing gets into black screen and then crash. In 5.5, sometimes, it shows "The display protocol for this desktop is currently busy processing a request. Please contact your system administrator. "
I attached log in /tmp
