It looks like ARM(64)-based Macs are supported as well, so why not Linux?

Unfortunately, VMware documentation for the Linux client states: Note: On RHEL 8.x systems, Horizon Client only supports the X11 display server protocol. The Wayland display server protocol is not supported. This applies to Fedora as well, I think.

VMware bundle installer supports only RHEL 7.9/8.5 and Ubuntu 18.04/20.04. I've long given up on using it to install on Fedora and created a proper RPM package. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to distribute it, but you can build it on your own machine using My GitLab repo . The latest version (2111) works fine for me on Fedora 35.

It looks like this is fixed in 2111. I'm unable to reproduce the issue any more after updating.
Are there any plans for a 64-bit ARM build for Linux? There's one for Android already and 64-bit ARM devices like Raspberry Pi 4 or Pinebook Pro are quite suitable for running the client.
It looks like this is fixed with 2106.
Thanks for confirmation. I'm having this issue in 2103 as well. It looks like a bug introduced with 2006.

Per Best Practices for Using Multiple Monitors: You can use up to four monitors if you have enough video RAM. To use more than two monitors to display your remote desktop on an Ubuntu client system, you must configure the kernel.shmmax setting correctly. Use the following formula: max horizontal resolution X max vertical resolution X max number of monitors X 4 For example, manually setting kernel.shmmax to 65536000 allows you to use four monitors with a screen resolution of 2560x1600. You might need to increase your shared memory limit. On my system the limit is: $ sysctl kernel.shmmax kernel.shmmax = 18446744073692774399 Regards, Dominik

I updated from 2006 to 2012 Horizon Client for Linux and the application started hanging indefinitely upon disconnecting (top bar -> Connection -> Disconnect). Attaching gdb to the vmware-remotemks process to get a backtrace yields the following: (gdb) where #0 0x00007f6a78d746c2 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0 #1 0x00007f6a78c4d980 in std::condition_variable::wait(std::unique_lock&) () from /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 #2 0x00007f6a75594b53 in VMEvent::Wait (this=this@entry=0x55c2e7d57148, msTimeout=msTimeout@entry=4294967295) at bora/apps/rde/rdeLibs/posix/VMEvent.cpp:578 #3 0x00007f6a7553455b in VCTransportMsg::WaitForCompletion (this=0x55c2e7d57070, msTimeout=msTimeout@entry=-1) at bora/apps/rde/rdpvcbridge/common/vcTransportMsg.cpp:249 #4 0x00007f6a75537bb9 in VCTransport::PostLocalMessage (this=0x7f6a34004300, vcMsg=..., processOnClientThread=processOnClientThread@entry=true) at bora/apps/rde/rdpvcbridge/common/vcTransport.cpp:1612 #5 0x00007f6a7556c254 in VCClient::Terminate (this=this@entry=0x7f6a34003470) at bora/apps/rde/rdpvcbridge/client/vcClient.cpp:1423 #6 0x00007f6a75533dc5 in VVC_Stop (reserved=, clientData=0x7f6a34003470) at bora/apps/rde/rdpvcbridge/dll/vdp_rdpvcbridge.cpp:996 #7 0x000055c2e667dee7 in ShutdownPlugins () at bora/lib/vvclib/pluginLoaderHelper.c:397 #8 0x000055c2e6673757 in VVCLDR_Shutdown () at bora/lib/vvclib/vvcldr.c:143 #9 0x000055c2e66611bd in VVCLIB_Uninit (instanceHandle=instanceHandle@entry=0x6846be90) at bora/lib/vvclib/vvclib.c:8425 #10 0x000055c2e653571e in BlastSocketClientUninitVvc (vvcInstanceHandle=vvcInstanceHandle@entry=0x6846be90) at bora/lib/blastSockets/blastSocketClientVvc.c:212 #11 0x000055c2e6532d99 in BlastSocketClientContextMapIterateCb (key=, data=, userData=0x55c2e7d532c0) at bora/lib/blastSockets/blastSocketClient.c:5474 #12 0x000055c2e654ecd4 in HashMap_Iterate (map=0x55c2e73b4730, itFn=itFn@entry=0x55c2e6532cf0 , clear=clear@entry=0 '\000', userData=0x55c2e7d532c0) at bora/lib/hashMap/hashMap.c:985 #13 0x000055c2e6531a15 in BlastSocketClientDestroyMainClientInstance () at bora/lib/blastSockets/blastSocketClient.c:5388 #14 0x000055c2e6531b4b in BlastSocket_Uninit () at bora/lib/blastSockets/blastSocketClient.c:587 #15 0x000055c2e6504661 in VNCClientView_Stop () at bora/apps/rde/viewClient/vncClientView.c:231 #16 0x000055c2e64e621e in ViewClientProtocolPowerOff () at bora/apps/rde/viewClient/viewClient.c:1934 #17 main (argc=34, argv=) at bora/apps/rde/viewClient/viewClient.c:2714 Any ideas?
Install libv4l package for your distribution and try running the vmware-view binary with: export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so vmware-view  
Which distribution are you running this on? I think the above happens only on RHEL 7 and similar, so you need to add the bundled libstdc++.so.6, too.

Yes, it's working just fine for me. Try the latest version from my gitlab space. Are you using the default Fedora 32 edition, i.e. Workstation? If yes, try launching GNOME on X11 session. Horizon client doesn't support Wayland (Fedora default).

Sorry for late response, I haven't checked the forum for a while. I have no idea why you're getting that error. What happens when you simply run the bundle installer? The recipe on my gitlab space for building an RPM package is of course not supported by VMware (I'm not affiliated with VMware in any way), but it works for me on Fedora 30. You need to clone the repo​, put the files in correct places depending on your RPM build environment configuration and use rpmbuild -bb directly or create a "source RPM" with rpmbuild -bs and use mock to build the binary packages. Explaining the above in detail is beyond the scope of this forum. If VMware permitted redistribution of their client, I could simply point you at a public RPM repository which you could add to your system and simply run dnf install vmware-horizon-client.

With 5.2 the patch is not needed anymore. Actually, it was needed only if one didn't want to install the Seamless Window feature. Regardless, you only have to put the following libraries from vmware-horizon-pcoip/pcoip/lib/vmware/ into /usr/lib/vmware and the vmware-view-crtbora binary (or the main vmware-view) in 5.2 works fine: libatkmm-1.6.so.1 libgdkmm-3.0.so.1 libgiomm-2.4.so.1 libglibmm-2.4.so.1 libgtkmm-3.0.so.1 libpangomm-1.4.so.1
