Hello,
Today I installed VMware View Client 3.2.0 on my Ubuntu 14.04 x64 workstation and I am having issues with vmware-view-usb. I pretty much followed these instructions with the exception of a few more dependencies that were needed and an extra symbolic link: Horizon View 3.2.0 Client on Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit
I went through the installer and chose to install everything including USB redirection. The setup completed and I ran the tests at the end which all came back successful. I launched vmware-view, connected to our Horizon connection server, and connected to a few machines and noticed that I did not have any USB redirection options. I took a look at the Horizon client log and saw the following errors:
2015-04-29 16:53:40.577: vmware-view 32253| Starting child: vmware-view-usb '-a' '127.0.0.1' '-p' '43042' '-u' '[omitted]'

2015-04-29 16:53:40.579: vmware-view 32253| CdkViewUsb_Init: (is vmware-view-usbd running?)
vmware-view-usb is not running, in fact its not even installed on the workstation. A find search of the whole system returns no results for vmware-view-usb. I have the vmware-usbarbitrator but not vmware-view-usb. Thinking that I may have messed up something during the installation when determining the necessary dependencies, I installed the VMware View Client again on another Ubuntu 14.04 x64 workstation and again, no vmware-view-usb is installed. Any thoughts as to why this is not being installed and is there a way for me to add the missing file(s)?
Thanks,
Jesus
