Arch Linux User Repository

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.

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.

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.

With the bump of openssl to 3, this package now also requires the openssl-1.1 package to run.

Things worked like charm with row's comment down below to use the env DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 workaround.

This let me skip installing icu63 as a dep.
