Since my last comment about pcoip-client, there are pcoip-client and pcoip-client-clipboard packages in the AUR. AWS works with these packages, no need to install the package from github.

"I can't get the latest release of Workspaces to run at all on my machine, hence the delay in updating the package."

In my experience the client runs and even gets to "Launching Workspace" but then fails with "Unable to Connect".

The tip from @nagyesz worked for me (thanks @nagyesz) .

However, after running the PKGBUILD from https://github.com/ppira/pcoip-client/ and getting a 404 I realised I needed to edit the PKGBUILD's 'pkgver' variable with the latest version number of the pcoip client (22.09.2 at the time of this writing) and replace the first sha256sum with 'SKIP' :-/

After this the pcoip-client built and installed successfully.

You can find the latest version number at https://docs.teradici.com/find/product/hp-anyware

Thanks for the essential tips @hicklemon. And of course to @stilvoid for maintaining this vital package !

Ah, great info thank you nagyesz and DooDleWilk. I'll investigate soon.

"I can't get the latest release of Workspaces to run at all on my machine, hence the delay in updating the package."

After installing https://github.com/ppira/pcoip-client/, it works for me. Maybe this information helps clarifying what is missing.

I just figured out how to get the copy/paste working.

Here are the commands I followed:

• Install graphicsmagick, hiredis using package manager

• wget https://d3nt0h4h6pmmc4.cloudfront.net/amazon-workspaces-bin-4.2.0.1665.deb

==> extract the .DEB file content

• untar data.tar.xz

• sudo mkdir -p /opt/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins/

• sudo cp data/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins/libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so /opt/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins/

• sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGraphicsMagick++.so.12.6.0 /usr/lib/libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.12

If still no copy paste, check last log file in ~/.local/share/Amazon Web Services/Amazon WorkSpaces/logs/pcoip

Search for "plugin" keyword

Example :

MGMT_VCHAN :Unable to open plugin directory /opt/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins (No such file or directory)

MGMT_VCHAN :Unable to open plugin directory /vchan_plugins (No such file or directory)

==> Can't find the plugin folder...

MGMT_VCHAN :Failed to load /opt/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins/libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so

MGMT_VCHAN : Plugin failed to load because: libGraphicsMagick++-Q16.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

MGMT_VCHAN :VChanPluginInit failed: libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so

==> Missing a SymLink to an existing lib...

MGMT_VCHAN :VChan plugin 'libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so' (/opt/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins/libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so) - version 22.07.0 rc2

MGMT_VCHAN :VChanPluginInit succeeded: libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so

MGMT_VCHAN :VChan plugins path = /vchan_plugins

MGMT_VCHAN :Loaded Virtual Channel Plugins:

MGMT_VCHAN : --------------------------------------

MGMT_VCHAN : /opt/pcoip-client/vchan_plugins/libvchan-plugin-clipboard.so

MGMT_VCHAN : --------------------------------------

==> Success!!!

This package now requires openssl-1.1 https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/openssl-1.1/

Installed that and it's working. Figured this out by running the bin in a terminal and got "No usable version of libssl found" and it was coredumping.

Hope this helps.

Here's a patch:

I used the newer Ubuntu package (20.04 "focal") that they have now and it works ok, that the only thing I changed in the PKGBUILD besides version. Idk if that is your problem

I can't get the latest release of Workspaces to run at all on my machine, hence the delay in updating the package.
