Horizon VMWare cannot install - missing libXinerama

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello,
I recently started to use TW KDE and try to use “Omnissa Horizon Client”. On a previous Debian installation I was able to use the “deb” version they provide. But here in TW I can’t use the “rpm” version.

Yast gives me the below error indicating “libXinerama” is missing:

error
error1134×735 54.6 KB

I installed all of those i could find:
(I only can embed one image… but software manger says I have all the available libXininerama 1.15-1.6. installed)

But even after re-start Yast gives me the same error.

I installed VMware anyway (and it gives me errors again), but it doesn’t work at all.

I googled for some solutions and some indicate to enter some more code in terminal. but before I install random software or enter random commands, I thought I better ask first.

Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks. i saw that thread, but it didn’t really seem to have a solution?
Here are the libraries I have installed:

libxinerama
libxinerama2298×483 103 KB

It looks like I have the libraries and newer versions. Or do I need to install something else?

That thread you linked also mentions missing “libXrandr”. this didn’t come up as missing for me.

I didn’t see a way to use the deb or tar files they also offer. should i install the rpm in a different way?

And I had looked for flatpack version for VMWare Horizon, or other repositories. But it seems what they offer on their website is the only source.

i also tried their instructions (sudo rpm -ivh …" to no avail.

The Problem is the different naming scheme of openSUSE and maybe RedHat:

openSUSE: libXinerama1
RedHat: libXinerama

That was not the answer of @arvidjaar

I’m sorry, I don’t understand what the solution is. I ran both commands. The first just gave me the rpm options. The second told me the directory doesn’t exist.

I see that Suse adds a “1” to some library names. But why? And what should I do about that? Will this a problem with all software that doesn’t come in a repository? Am I basically limited to software that is “approved” and in a repository?

I read about the (not recommended) Alien option to convert the deb file. but that may yield the same problem if Suse uses different library names.

@Lurking GUI’s can’t do everything :wink: You need to use the full path and rpm name a . means run it here, or if you cd to the directory where the rpm is and use the fullname rpm --install --nodeps Omnissa-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.x64.rpm

This is what I entered from the Omnissa instructions:
sudo rpm -ivh Omnissa-Horizon-Client-2506-8.16.0-16536624989.x64.rpm

It works. Except I’m missing those libraries. Suse has the 1 and 2 appended to libxinerama and libxrandr respectively. This is the same issue as with doing it with YaST.
How do I get the correct libraries? And why does Suse have them different?

8

@Lurking those are shared libraries so openSUSE adds the soname https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Shared_library_packaging_policy

If it works, you are fine…

Sorry. I should have phrased that better. It worked starting the installation. But failed due to missing libraries.

Thanks for the explanation on the library names. But what do I do?

I had (another can or worms) idea to install Wine or similar and use the Windows version of the VMWare. But I suspect this won’t be smooth either.

I was able to install it on a previous Fedora installation (also uses rpm). So I was hoping this works in Suse. Or does Suse not like rpm due to the libraries and how it names them?

10

Fedora is a Red Hat clone, so the naming scheme is as in the Horizon rpm.

You should use “rpm -i --nodeps” and not “rpm -ivh”, that are light different commands or do something different.

libXinerama1 is installed and so the Client is working.
The dependencies are important, if they are not installed.

11

Thanks, I tried that. But it tells me the the client is already installed. And it is installed, it just doesn’t work when I click on it (absolutely nothing happens).

I tried to find and remove it in Discover, but couldn’t find it.

and when I try to install with YaST, it still tells me about the missing libraries.

I read more about the deb/rpm issue. And it seems none are standardized and rpm often is optimized for RedHat. Is this a case where to software doesn’t work in Suse? In Fedora/Debian it was more or less straightforward to install and use it. And since this is proprietary software my employer uses, I can’t just find a more suitable software that is in the repository or flatpack.

I also installed Wine, but that does nothing for the .exe version. Somewhere I read about distrobox… but this all seems to make this more complex.

Start it from Terminal as User:

stephan@linux64:~/Downloads> horizon-client
/usr/lib/omnissa/horizon/bin/horizon-client: error while loading shared libraries: libclientSdkCPrimitive.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

64 bit package installing lib to /usr/lib/ instead of /usr/lib64/ as openSUSE uses, so also a Red Hat rpm Problem…

As root:

ln -s /usr/lib/libclientSdkCPrimitive.so /usr/lib64/libclientSdkCPrimitive.so

There are many linking problems, so you have to link mor libs…
