If you have trouble connecting to AWS Workspaces, please try installing the AUR package pcoip-client

If this fixes the issue for you, please also comment here.

There are reports of this issue in the comments and I'm trying to figure out if it's common and how to reproduce this. In the meantime I added pcoip-client as an optional dependency to the PKGBUILD.

If anyone who has the problem is willing to try something: Could you try starting the app using the steps below and then check if the problem persists?

cd /usr/share/amazon-workspaces
./workspacesclient

(background: pcoip_core.so is shipped with the package but for some reason the client still complains about it being missing. This might be because the workspaces-folder is not in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH - I can't reproduce this issue though)

@tsangares: Are you sure, that "pcoip-client" is required as external dependency? I'm able to connect AWS Workspace just fine without having it installed.

The Ubuntu package doesn't have a dependency for pcoip-client defined, see https://d3nt0h4h6pmmc4.cloudfront.net/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/binary-amd64/Packages

Looks like amazon-workspaces ships with a precompiled version of libpcoip:

$ paru -Ql amazon-workspaces-bin | grep -i pcoip
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/Licenses/PCoIP/
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/Licenses/PCoIP/pcoip-linux-version-license.txt
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/WorkSpacesClient.Binding.Gtk.PCoIP.dll
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/WorkSpacesClient.Binding.Gtk.PCoIP.pdb
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/Wrapper.PCoIP.Gtk.dll
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/libPcoipCoreWrapper.so
amazon-workspaces-bin /usr/share/amazon-workspaces/libpcoip_core.so

While checking the .deb-dependencies I discovered other undeclared dependencies though, I will update the PKGBUILD accordingly

UPDATE: Sorry I just noticed the other comments about this issue.
Weird, I'll try to reproduce this and maybe add pcoip-client as a dependency if really necessary. I think it shouldn't be required - maybe in some cases the workspaces client is unable to locate the prebundled pcoip_core-lib or something similar...

@janek You should mark pcoip-client as a dependency because this does not work without it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pcoip-client

Why is it not already a dependency?

Maybe additionally mark pcoip-client-clipboard

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pcoip-client-clipboard

Same pcoip_core error for me with 4.5. Same fix installing pcoip-client worked for me as well. Maybe needs to be added as a dependency.

I had issues with latest 4.5.0.2006-1 version. Error in logs located in .local/share/Amazon Web Services/Amazon WorkSpaces/logs

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'pcoip_core' or one of its dependencies.

Resolved after install pcoip-client (with patch from comments for version 23.01.1)

For me this failed to build with the following output:

I tried the suggested patches with the latest 4.5.0.2006 but it crashed Launching Session with console output; " stack smashing detected : terminated". Any updated workarounds any of you can share?

thanks @krozmok, worked fine with focal-- wondering what do those @@ mean?

krozmok commented on 2023-01-03 17:48 (UTC)

I was struggling with makepkg -si

What I did to solve this is to update the download link from bionic to focal
