![]() ![]() Need help with your virtualization project? Let us help. Once it’s confirmed working, just add steps 8, 9, and 10 to a start-up script and that should do it. Ten easy steps and the View client should have the ability to pass through a USB storage device. This IE add-on is provided so the View administrator can control the flash settings for all virtual desktops in the desktop pool to optimize them for a VDI environment to. Sudo /usr/lib/vmware-view-usbd -o log:trace The VMware View Agent which is installed in all virtual desktops (and RDS hosts) managed by Horizon View, includes the VMware Adobe Flash Optimizer internet explorer add-on. Sudo /usr/lib/vmware/vmware-usbarbitrator -f -trivia Create or edit the VMware config file to add USB support:Īdd the following to the file: viewusb.InculdeFamily= "storage" Sudo dpkg -i vmware-horizon-view-client_2.3.0-_b Sudo add-apt-repository "deb $(lsb_release -sc) universe" Sudo add-apt-repository "deb $(lsb_release -sc) partner" Start by adding the partner and universe repos into Ubuntu with the following commands: deb package to remove the requirement, so either make the edit or download the version at the end of this post. It’s required for their zero client, but it’s not needed in Ubuntu. deb has a requirement for hptc-sudo-edit. They can be downloaded directly from HP’s website, but require some adjusting. We need libssl0.9.8 and a couple other items that are only available in x86. To make things easy, make sure to use the x86 version. This obviously assumes that Ubuntu is already installed. Of course, there is a way around that, which I’m about to show you. The only officially sanctioned way to get USB support in Linux is to buy a thin/zero client from a third party who has created (and supports) their own USB implementation. ![]() So what’s the problem? A big problem for a client I recently had was that there was no USB pass-through support. It even has a View client that can be installed automatically via APT (or the Software Center). It’s free and it runs on almost any hardware. Hopefully that covers the majority of it.Įnter Ubuntu. Or maybe you’re just not ready to drop a ton of money on thin/zero clients. Maybe you have a bunch of old equipment hanging around that could be used as a dumb terminal. Maybe now you’re tired of paying for two Windows licenses, one for the physical desktop, one for the virtual desktop. So you’ve got VMware Horizon View client running in your environment. ![]()
