VMware just released a fixed version, I already pushed the changes. Go and get it!

I have a non-public test release (2111.1 / 8.4.1 / build 53939787) from VMware that is said to fix the keyboard issue. To date I could not proof any different... So stay tuned for the next release!

@KorvinSilver. Can you try adding the argument --no-sandbox to the .desktop file for VMWare Client? I had a similar issue with another application and this may serve as a stop gab solution until a more permanent one is found.

I guess that's a new security feature from KDE/Plasma, where all launched applications are sandboxed in a systemd service. Looks like this breaks the horizon client. I do not have KDE/Plasma here, so no idea what breaks.

I updated my system and after reboot vmware-view won't run anymore unless I start it from the terminal. I'm using KDE/Plasma and if I click on its icon, KDE shows the cursor animation for the launch for a second then nothing happens. If I run it from terminal or set the shortcut settings to include run in terminal, it works. journalctl shows this only at the time:

So basically systemd says it's started but somehow it closes or crashes without a trace I could find. The other lines show up with everything else I start like this so unsure if they mean anything here. The exact same thing happens with nbtexplorer-bin by the way also from the AUR. No idea what that means or even what could be responsible. I have other things installed from AUR but everything else works properly. Also if I start it from terminal, there's no systemd message for it in the log.

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.

eworm commented on 2022-01-17 14:59 (UTC)

Added packages:

  • vmware-horizon-html5mmr
  • vmware-horizon-teams-optimization

Please test...

Anybody had success fixing the stuck keys issue?

@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
