I have the extra window in XFCE. Might be a new feature.

I get the same extra window using KDE Plasma. I think it's a new feature, not a bug. Great work @row and @janek!

@artafinde yes, I'm in i3 and have the same problem with an unclosable window.
Nice work @janek and @row on getting this updated and still including PCoIP!

Hello @janek,
Thanks for the update - seems to be working OK on my PCoIP protocol. I have a weird thing though. Everything opens ok but it spawns a separate window as well and can't close it - that shows the "My Workspace" window from the sandwich settings. I can move it around but not close it no matter what. I use i3wm.
Anyone experienced this?

Thank you @janek and @row! You guys are awesome.

The package is now finally upgraded to the latest 2024.x release!
Thanks to @row's patch it not only supports the DCV, but also continues to support PCoIP.
If anyone has issues with the new release: I also published the old release under a new name here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amazon-workspaces-legacy-bin
Please still comment here if you have any issues with the new release & include your streaming protocol (DCV/PCoIP). Thanks!
Thank you very much @row.

That is awesome row!

@janek I believe I got the "new" Ubuntu Focal client working in an Arch package, and submitted a PR on GitHub. This worked for both PCOIP and DCV Workspaces in very limited testing (just one personal machine). Note that Focal (20.04) is going to hit its 5-year end-of-life in May 2025, so this particular package might have limited lifespan.
One minor quirk I see is that when disconnecting the DCV session, there's a warning about a session issue, but it otherwise seems functional. I have not used DCV extensively, yet.

Just noting that Amazon has announced an EOL for all 4.x versions in a couple of months (March 2025), so the current version will be out of support soon - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/workspaces-eol.html
I took a pass at playing with the PKGBUILD for the newer versions, I think I'm running into the same lsb-release issues janek had mentioned. On the Ubuntu 20.04 "new" client (with both PCOIP+DCV support), the app crashes if /etc/lsb-release doesn't exist, and I didn't find an environment variable it would obey. Installing the Arch lsb-release package got it to run, but a PCOIP Workspace got an error that the system was not Ubuntu 20. Connecting to a WSP Workspace instantly disconnected. I tried the 22.04 client (WSP only), as well, and saw the same instant disconnect symptom for a WSP Workspace.
I didn't see an obvious error in the client logs, although there was a non-error part that showed dcvclient starting and a sub-process exiting a log line later. Running dcvclient directly from the install tree got a library error looking for libselinux.so.1, which I'm not clear is an actual issue or a red herring. I am also not clear if there's another factor (i.e. not having a recognized Ubuntu release in /etc/os-release) that could be messing with it.
