VMware View Open Client, test it!

I think by now most of you have read Mike D’s scoop on the “VMware View Open Client“. If not here’s  a outtake from the press release:

VMware View Open Client is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 (LGPL v 2.1) and is accessible from http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view-open-client/. Some of the features included in this release support secure tunneling using SSL, two factor authentication with RSA SecurID, Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Thin Client Add-On RPM package and a full command line interface. Support for the source code distribution is available through the VMware View Open Client community at: http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view-open-client/.

I’ve just downloaded the PRM and installed it on OpenSuse 11.1 without a problem:

Now I would need to request a virtual desktop so I can actually use the client. :-)

    I’tried to connect a virtual desktop using ip address but still stuck on this error ” Could not connect to broker”

    Same problem over here..

    Name resolution is fine. But the error keeps popping up.

  3. Duncan says:

    Which Distro are you using? I’ve been using Suse 11.1 with gnome and it works like a charm!

  4. Mike says:

    Hmm, I read in the Administration Manual that you cannot have Vmware ACe, Player, Server or Workstation installed. And guess what. I have Workstation installed. So maybe that’s the problem.

  5. Duncan says:

    I’ve also got VMware workstation installed 6.5.1. Still seems to work without any problems so far…

  6. Mike says:

    I tested it again.. and guess what. I works.
    The problem is that I don’t know what fixed it.
    I did some testing with Policies and with the client for windows.

  7. Mike says:

    Is it rights that on the opensource client there is no support for shameless printing and USB?
