Hi,
I have had a lot of trouble getting the Horizon View 3.2.0 Client working on my freshly installed Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit.
Seams like VMware has very limited support for Horizon View client on Ubuntu when it comes to 64 bit, and to be honest I find that VERY DISAPOINTING. COME ON.. WHO USES 32 bit anymore!
I finally that decided to publish a generic client for Linux on the website, so that is a good thing.
Just to be absolutely clear I used this package: https://download3.vmware.com/software/view/viewclients/CART14Q4/VMware-Horizon-Client-3.2.0-2331566.x86.bundle
I installed that package using these commands in the catalog I downloaded the package to.
sudo chmod +x VMware-Horizon-Client-3.2.0-2331566.x86.bundle
sudo ./VMware-Horizon-Client-3.2.0-2331566.x86.bundle
I enabled everything in the wizard, and at the end of the installation you are able to scan for missing dependencies. Turns out that there are a lot when you are running 64 bit.
After a lot of work and realizing that google for once was no help what so ever, I found that the following worked.
Run all the following commands as root.
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libxml2:i386
apt-get install libssl1.0.0:i386
apt-get install libXtst6:i386
apt-get install libudev1:i386
apt-get install libpcsclite1:i386
apt-get install libtheora0:i386
apt-get install libv4l-0:i386
apt-get install libpulse0:i386
ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.0
ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.1
ln -sf /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1
After this my scan reported no errors, and I was able to start the Horizon View Client. There was no icon for it so I ran the command vmware-view from the command line, and then locked the icon to that task bar.
I got one error when starting the client, that my ssl lib was old, but according to Ubuntu it is patched, so it does not need to be version 1.0.0i.
I am not certain that all features work. I have a nasty feeling that USB redirection will not work, since I have never gotten that to work on Ubuntu 64 bit, but you can test that for yourself.
I hope this helps someone, and I wish VMware would have done this work for us. I suppose that this is more or less the same to get it working on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit.
