Can you give details on your setup? How can I reproduce?

And does it work to just remove the packaged library, so libstdc++ from gcc-libs can be used?

After upgrading to 2309-1 when being redirected to login via chromium I get that the packaged libstdc++ (usr/lib/vmware/gcc/libstdc++.so.6) does not contain GLIBCXX_3.4.32 which is required by Chromium.

The latest version of libstdc included is 3.4.30

I am using Chromium 119.0.6045.59

I have solved the problem by doing a soft link for libstdc using the libstdc son /usr/lib

The problem message:

Is solved installing manually the AUR package vmware-keymaps (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-keymaps). After installing this package, the next step is to install using the regular procedure "vmware-horizon-client"

Since two weeks, the Horizon client is crashing a couple of times a day at the same time with chrome and chromium, is anyone experiencing similar behaviour?

Using the latest Manjaro, Gnome, Wayland and the latest LTS Kernel (6.1.49-1).

@Pen_Pen At my organization the same thing happened and it was related to MS implementing a different dual factor authenticator (where they post a number you enter in your Authenticator app on the phone) which broke the VMWare client as it cannot support it

In our case, my organization has a web portal from which I can launch.. it has been the only workaround so far

Update: I was able to get by it by resetting my LANG to en_US.UTF-8:

# localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
# locale -a 

C
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

Original Message:

Similar to @sand7000 I am also getting an "Invalid Locale" error when trying to add a server. Same locale settings:

C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
en_US.utf8

I only found another dead-end Reddit thread, has anyone else run into this?

Update. Manual build and install worked:

makepkg
sudo rm /usr/share/doc/vmware-horizon-client/patches/
sudo pacman -U vmware-horizon-
.tar.zst

Problem I mentioned happened only while using yay to automatically update vmware-horizon-client.

eworm commented on 2023-07-07 12:22 (UTC)

What does this give? pacman -Qo /usr/share/doc/vmware-horizon-client/patches/

Just remove the files if no package is returned...

Did you install with the installer (and not pacman) before?
