Arch Linux User Repository

This is assuming that the users are attempting to access horizon-client with a smart card

I have done testing on this issue and it appears to be something upstream within Arch. Spinning up horizon-client on other arch based distros results in horizon-client not showing PKI Validation as a Protocol Connection Certificate Checking Mode. Instead it only shows (distro dependent) Thumbprint verification or Thumbprint or PKI Verification...but not PKI Verification alone.

If a user still has Horizon-Client installed, it will still show the PKI Verfication as a phantom option that is selected, but not actually valid anymore.

Steps to reproduce: Install any Arch based distro, install vmware-horizon-client from the AUR

Steps to verify: Install horizon-client on any non-arch distro and all options appear (eg. PopOS, Kubuntu, Mint)

No idea on the smartcard issue... I do not have a setup to test this. If you find a solution let me know - I will happily apply it.

The keyboard thing sounds unrelated... Possibly caused by other updates? The only change in 2406-2 was regarding usb redirection, so... I hope your keyboard is not redirected via usb?

Updated to version 2406-2 and now the client disables the Meta keys on my USB keyboard. I'm no longer able to "get out" of a fullscreen session by hitting meta to bring up the local machines taskbar/task manager. The keyboard needs to be physically disconnected and plugged back in to re-enable the meta keys, as they will no longer work on local machine either.

I'm seeing the same behavior as @tinynibbles. I have also ensured opensc-pkcs11 library is linked in the VMware view library and confirmed the vmware-horizon-usb.service is running. I'm running the same versions as well:

• VMware Horizon Client Version 2406 Build 8.13.0 (9995429239) (AUR version 2406-2)
• vmware-horizon-usb version 2406-2
• vmware-horizon-smartcard vesion 2406-2

Here seems to be the relevant log output from vmware-horizon-client-XXX.log:

TL/DR: Horizon client is not prompting for a smartcard selection or asking for a pin. The error message in the GUI states "Access denied. No valid certificate provided."

My VMware Horizon client is no longer recognizing my smartcard. I have verified the the smartcard reader is working with the pcsc_scan tool and I have ensured opensc-pkcs11 library is linked in the VMware view library. I also confirmed the vmware-horizon-usb.service is running.

• VMware Horizon Client Version 2406 Build 8.13.0 (9995429239) (AUR version 2406-2)
• vmware-horizon-usb version 2406-2
• vmware-horizon-smartcard vesion 2406-2

Hey,

I just finished the install of the client, usb and smartcard packages, hoping to use for work, sadly I keep running into the following issue, I believe this is why the client is not prompting me for my id card pin. if anyone know where i should look to find any further logs, or might have a solution please let me know.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am using VMware Horizon Client Version 2309.1 Build 8.11.1 (22775487)version and I get the invalid locale error.

Here is what the log says.

2023-12-05 11:49:42.314+00:00: vmware-view 23656| OnError:69: Handling error 'invalid locale' (domain=2359(CDK_BROKER_ERROR), code=14) from task CdkSetLocaleTask. 2023-12-05 11:49:42.314+00:00: vmware-view 23656| cdk_application_on_server_fatal_error: received fatal error 'invalid locale', disconnect server and show error message.

My local is set to:

C C.utf8 POSIX en_GB.utf8

Working well now. I am not sure what was the Vulkan thing. Worked after upgrading + reboot.

Pushed vmware-horizon-client 2309-2, that should fix the chromium / libstdc++ issue. No idea on the vulkan topic...

I have arch with KDE 4 using Wayland

Before the upgrade I could access the login screen (which comes up in a chromium window), and then the remote application would launch

After upgrade to 2309-1 vmware-client would offer the server but the login screen would not display. Instead, I got the error message that /usr/lib/vmware/libstdc++.so.6 did not contain glibc3.4.32. I renamed /usr/lib/vmware/libstdc++ and did a softlink to the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 library. Now the login screen opens in Chromium. I am able to log in and get the menu of the remote applications.

however, when I try to access any application, the screen momentarily freezes and then I get this error:
