Others are suffering the same issue with stuck keys: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Horizon-for-Linux/Horizon-Client-for-Linux-fouls-key-repeating-permanently/m-p/2835084

Please post there and/or open an official support request if possible.

@fordprefect Thanks for replying.

I did use git clone and makepkg beforehand. Now that the bundle didn't work I also tried

makepkg -sri

but that results in:

Am I on the wrong track?

EDIT: ok I got it after carefully reading the above error: I had to install vmware-keymaps from aur, this one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-keymaps/

now it works

@Sotix: Hello and welcome. You are missing important things here, you are not using the AUR package, but the upstream installer. A good start is the Arch wiki (wiki.archlinux.org), search for AUR, makepkg, pacman, etc and understand those. That will give you an idea how arch works and what the AUR is about.

The installer says "Installation was unsuccessfull."

What I did:

sudo chmod +x vmware-horizon-client-2111-8.4.0-18957622-x86_64.bundle

sudo ./vmware-horizon-client-2111-8.4.0-18957622-x86_64.bundle

The installer pops up, I can select the packages I want but even if non are selected the above error is shown after clicking on "next". Is there an error-log somewhere? I am new to aur and arch in general.

After updating system, rebuilding package:

yay --cleanmenu --rebuild -Syu vmware-horizon-client vmware-horizon-usb

... rebooting system, checkrebuild command claims that package vmware-horizon-client, vmware-horizon-usb still needs to be rebuilt, although it is working properly. I hope this can be fixed. Below is the verbosed output of missing libraries locations.

$ checkrebuild -v

Any chance we can get the missing components for the product? Most are covered but some are missing from the AUR since they got added in the last few releases: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Horizon-Client-for-Linux/2111/horizon-client-linux-installation/GUID-DE283634-D0D4-45C2-B0C8-E203CAC0E38B.html

i.e. Media Optimization for Microsoft Teams

I also have the stuck key issue since update to 2111, no issues on 2106 like this though.

neilsimp1 commented on 2021-12-04 16:29 (UTC)

I have the issue of stuck keys very rarely, but that has been across several versions.

More recently, 2111-1 only displays on 2/3 of my monitors, even though the settings detect the third monitor and it's "Full screen on all monitors". Downgrading fixed that.

eworm commented on 2021-12-03 10:45 (UTC)

I have see this behavior of stuck keys, also with other 8.x releases. No idea what causes this...
