    Can you download vmware horizon for Linux? It needs registration but I can't get the email verification.

    If anyone can post a link to download the Linux client (64bit) I'll gladly appreciate it :)

    EDIT: Found a guide on how to install it and the direct link :)

    vmware

    and it works.

  • ok, just did an update and it works now :D

    Thanked by 1Issam2204
  • Another member is already using this IP address to run a HitLeap Viewer. Please use a different IP address.

    I can't use hitleap its shared ip >

  • Works like a charm, thanks for the heads up OP.

    Now I just need to find any use for this.

    Is this still a thing in 2015? As if Google wouldn't know one's not coming from a residential IP address. It would be super easy to filter out this traffic for the statistics.

    How many can you launch? I just regged a new account from an affiliate and I'm not even prompted to validate anything.

    edit: How do you get admin rights? I can't do shit on this.

    I'm on "view/blablausername"

    edit2:Scheduled update wtf. still can't see admin right or wtf. no users other than my own on the desktop. I guess they fucked up something. I don't get it how others have admin rights.

    It's fun, but what's the use-case? Does any of you use it for anything useful?

    Jokes aside, I actually use something like this for a long time at home: I have my desktop apps running on a home server, then connect to it via VNC from various places.
    The benefit is that no matter which computer I use, be it at home, at work or anywhere else (using a netbook), if it has a VNC client, I instantly get access to the same set of apps not just already installed and configured the way I like, but also already launched and in exactly the same state as I left them off the last time.
    E.g. my browser with random tabs that I was reading down to the exact detail of which page was scrolled down to where, IRC and IM clients with conversations half way, also all my E-Mail, torrents, etc.
    And the VNC client doesn't even need a powerful computer, e.g. for some time I was accessing this from an MK802, a 3-watt completely silent ARM-based Android TV stick (running Debian).

    Suppose I could do the same except with the server at OVH now. But it'll have a higher latency for me, and most importantly there is the issue of trust. I.e. would I login to sites such as Internet banking from this bureau virtuel. Heck, I don't think I would trust it even some of the less important passwords. But I guess OVH expects that you will.

  • Well, admin access will hopefully work after their update. Banking stuff should only be done from your office or home I think.

    Strangely I can't type M's on mine, they come out as commas. Very odd.

    EDIT: Fixed it by changing language and input method.

    Switch the keyboard layout to match your own?

  • @abat said:

    you need a new keyboard with working M ,, j/k ... check keyboard support and regional settings ... anymore questions like this and it means you need to spend time checking windows

  • Anyone know how to make this work properly on a QHD+ display? RDP works fine and autoscales on my other boxes but the VMWare Horizon just strains my eyes. It looks like it has been nobbled in the setting as I can't change the scaling where you normally can.
