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.

I got this error below when I attempted to enter my registration code. But I could log in on AWS Workspace client for mac by using same registration code and same IP Address. Please kindly fix the package.

This device is not authorized to access the WorkSpace. Please contact your administrator for assistance.

I'm having a problem with installing the package using yay

Thanks for reporting! I've fixed the .desktop file now :)

Hello, latest installs and runs successfully by executing amazon-workspaces in a terminal. However, launching from the .desktop entry I see:

Could not find the program /opt/workspacesclient

Thanks for reporting. I've added webkit2gtk to the dependencies :)

amazon-workspaces-bin 3.0.7.470-5 Package build and installation was successful. Upon running, after displaying initial dialogue box briefly, it exited. Running from command line I saw:

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37' or one of its dependencies.

Installed webkit2gtk and it runs successfully.

I'm using pamac on manjaro. Clearing AUR build directory and cache then reinstalling did the trick.

Thanks.

Hello @ggil

This mean you are not deleting the deb file before you do a new build and therefore not using the latest version.

Check the version of the DEB file you have using dpkg and confirm it's the latest version like below.

It will be better if you use an AUR helper like yay it will automate the process for you.

 dpkg-deb -I workspacesclient_amd64.deb

 Description: Amazon WorkSpaces Client for Ubuntu 18.04

I was able to get the package to build by substituting in the previous sha512 sum in PKGBUILD.

Replaced

sha512sums=('ce0c6b10f89f197620fe3ac88f4085da518064363cbd015fe7a5eceef217699552d3024b599fcf87f2ef9b7b3da907e66134fed633e335964d36813d490fd695')

with

sha512sums=('e3dd2523635d6d6e471eca79715994731dab76654467419f423392f8ed08fa9acf486c13860b7fe0dc165fe451299adc8274d38ec116991a2587b2fd105726ca')

But then Amazon Workspaces reports that it is still version 3.0.6.444. Maybe something still sitting in cache.
