Hi: Try to start it by configure the "Start Applications Preferences" in ubuntu settings. You should use crontab, or edit the autostart file in /etc/xdg/autostart or ~/.autostart.  or go systemd way (i'd nerver use this)   Regards

Hi: You must create a script with the vmware-view command and run it at startup. Basic use of vmware-view is for example: vmware-view -s your-server-ip-or-url -u user@domain.es -p userpassword -n "desktop to show" -q run vmware-view --help to see all avaliable options. Dont forget to run: /etc/init.d/vmware-USBArbitrator start Post if need more details.   regards      

Hi: Thanks for the info (interesting)  but our organization is using a lot of raspi3 devices so it is important that the OS supports them. We also had many issues with kiosk mode, USB support (as you do). We workarround this by creating dummy users with autologin at starpup for kiosk mode devices. regards  

Hi Andrew, Many things have change since i have created this post. Actually i'm quit using Ubuntu as base system on my thin clients, i'm switch back to raspberry OS because it have better support for vmware clients. As i had commented here i was using a chroot environment in order to run vmware client on ubuntu. Before hollidays break i tested latest vmware horizon client (2106) on a raspberry pi os system and it works like a charm, so i strongly recomend switch to this OS. Pros: Fully support for raspberry 3 an 4 models. vmware runs Ok with no issues Easy to find help for OS on raspberry's forums.
