View Client for Linux, stay connected after disconnect

I have a large lot of IGEL Linux thin clients, and I have them updated to the latest version which includes the latest version of Linux client to view.

The default behavior of the application is not to go out when a connection to a virtual machine descends from the intentional log out of the virtual machine.  This is crazy, because the Windows version of the leave application automatically demand the closing of the session of the view.

This means that when my users log out of their VM because they are trained, the thin client is left to a State after the entry password and before the selection of the pool.  The next person to use the workstation would have access to their account.

It makes no sense at all.  How to change to exit the application?  Until I change it, my Linux thin clients are useless.

Hello

According to Aaron, it works as expected.

BUT, we did a way to change the behavior of the Client.

Please consult this document:

https://www.VMware.com/PDF/view-client-Linux-document.PDF

On page 22, you will find the explanation of the parameter "-once."

Specifies that you don't want to see Client to retry the connection in the case of an error occurring.
Use - once if you want to get a workflow similar to the view client 4.6. This option will force the client to view to exit once the user disconnects or logs off of a desktop computer.
You generally must specify this option if you are using the kiosk mode and use the exit code to handle the error. Otherwise, you might find it difficult to kill the vmware-view process remotely.
If you set the configuration key, specify "TRUE" or "FALSE". Default value is "FALSE".

You can use it like this (tested on an Ubuntu machine):

-Open a terminal and run 'vmware-view - once'

or

-Change the file in the home folder of the user, called: .vmware/view-preferences

-Add the line: view.once = 'TRUE '.

For the client to hedgehogs, or all other types/brands/models, I don't know if you can access and apply the changes, so I recommend contacting technical support of these devices.

Hope this helps,

Kind regards

  • Help with renovation Horizon View client for Mac

    I'm packaging the client VMware View Horizon for our Mac desktops and laptops (we have about 150). Normally, it is a very simple and very easy process with this client because it is just a soft. We use Apple PackageMaker to repackage the Horizon of VMware View Client.appand add the plist for the test user for the deployment of future users profiles. We used some com.vmware.view.plist in the past to ensure that our connection to the server is prefilled and force PCoIP. It has worked great for us with all < 2.3 versions.

    From 2.3 and 3.0 now, I have not been able to repackage the application correctly. I have download the .dmg to VMware and copy the .app in it in / applications; This is exactly how a user would install it on their system. I run the Client discovers once and connect to our login server using the settings I want to paste when you deploy this application to our machines. Then using PackageMaker, I point the first part of the package that will be created for Applications/Vmware view Horizon Client.app as usual (including the roots). It's normal. I choose com.vmware.view.plist file, and I'm using a plist Editor, delete the entry for my test user name and office that I'm connected to. In PackageMaker, the destination of this .plist file is in the default profile for the mac - so whenever a new user connects to the mac, they will receive the file .plist with the parameters we want. Sounds good. The package is built successfully. I deploy it on a machine to test successfully.

    When I connect on a test system and run the client from the view, I can connect properly. If I try to use the menu connection/printing enabled, all hell breaks loose and I get a series of errors;

    Invalid file in the package.

    The file is not valid:

    / Applications/VMware Horizon view Client.app/Contents/Library/thnuclnt/thnusetup.sh.

    Please download the official product.

    If I try to start services remotely USB, I get a similar error once it issues a warning that I will be asked to enter the credentials of the admin;

    Invalid file in the package.

    The file is not valid:

    / Applications/VMware Horizon view Client.app/Contents/Library/InitUsbServices.tool.

    Please download the official product.

    ?? If I run the app from the .dmg on this same machine, I have no problem. Any ideas?

    OK, I just had to put the question so that I could think clearly through it.

    There are some extended attributes on these shell scripts that PackageMaker removes when it reconditions the app. I conditioned as a .dmg, and copy the app via the postinstall script in the pkg... works very well after that.

  • View Client remembers the last connection protocol (even another computer)

    Currently, the customer discovers learns this last protocol used when connecting to a desktop computer from the view connection server.  It is a big problem.

    EXAMPLE - I have a user who has a PC at work and a PC at home.  I put the default protocol of pool to PCoIP.  They connect at work (pcoip).  They go home and have move to RDP.  They return to work and have move to PCoIP.  They go home and have to swith RDP...

    Why would you transfer an environment setting like that from one computer to another with no ability to override?  This will cause the use moving between computer and protocols to constantly change their protocol settings.  If the client view would ignore the configuration of the server protocol, then they could leave PCoIP together at work and RDP set at home and be able to quickly connect.

    This post explains where the settings is saved on the login server (POST).

    Is it possible with view 4.5 to replace it?

    VMWARE please correct this by adding a parameter to the client view each Protocol user setting from the server connection or ignore it and use the last protocol used by the client to view software.

    I agree it is a bit strange, but you can set a parameter at the launch of the View client to specify whether to use PCoIP or RDP.

    desktopProtocol - XXX will attempt to use the specified protocol desktop display.

  • View domain for the server connection help please

    OK, I don't know where to put this so I hope it's a good place. I tried to install view connection server on my last windows 2003 server. I built a laboratory at home with a dedicated server for vCenter, AD and view connection. When trying to install view connection Server 4.5 sound telling me:

    "This computer is a member of a domain, but no server connection can be found. Please make sure that this computer is properly connected to a domain and that a domain controller is available before to perform this installation again'

    OK, so I logged on windows Server 2003 view connection using active directory so why it gives me this error?

    Thank you.

    Start by pingging your AD server's DNS server.  Also, try ping the DNS server of the virtual machine that you are trying to install the view on.  You can try it joined to the domain by using the command NET DOM.  We do in our environment at all correct control but can not quite understand our this is the problem.  You can also check the event viewer on the virtual computer to see if he throws all Kerberos events associated with the certificate expiring this testimony of course that the server may need to be joined to the domain.  The virtual machine was interrupted for a while?

    See you soon,.

  • Content Viewer app for iPad not connected?

    I checked all the boxes in this diagnosis, they do not apply. Connect first via the site Web, check, iPad, Safari, and Chrome Windows always get error authentication failed with information of the same logon from the content viewer application.

    Online help chat could only suggest that an Adobe server has problems. The DPS Portal is currently no problem with the web Content Viewer, not sure it's the same thing as the iPad app. Maybe that DPS people don't know about it yet, and they have left the building for a week on vacation.

    Here, anyone have any ideas? I'm not a Subscriber DPS, and the app does not seem to require that only an Adobe ID, that I created years ago and who still works through the web. I need content for iPad Viewer to examine the work of those who is subscribed to DPS.

    Thanks for any help or the point of view that you can provide.

  • VMware discover 5 support for linux/ubuntu comments?

    Dear Sirs

    Is there an agent yet for linux especially Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.  With the Android development picking up speed, we have a real need to have our developers.  The main thing that is necessary for us is the USB redirection to the prompt of the client running XP/Windows 7 or even a thin client for them to download cores to our material connected to the customer.  Thanks in advance, if anyone knows of other solutions, it would be really appreciated.

    Are you talking about Office VDI or on the side of client to end-users.

    There is a VMware View Client for Linux, this will allow Linux machines to connect to a broker and load a Windows VDI image.

    However it is not a VMware View Agent for Linux that allow a remote desktop Linux to be negotiated through the infrastructure of the view to a device from end user customers.

    There are rumors of people for the agent Windows runs under Linux using wine and Rdesktop but no one seems to have posted a shot-by-shot full of way to account and then that would be completely supported the point of view of VMware.
