You can sometimes resolve problems with Horizon Client by uninstalling and reinstalling the Horizon Client application.
To uninstall Horizon Client, use the installer file type that was used to install it.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have root access on the Linux client system.
Uninstall Horizon Client Using the Bundle Installer
In a Terminal window, change to the directory that contains the .bundle installer file, and run the installer command with the -u
option.
Option | Command |
---|---|
For uninstallation, if you have set executable permissions | sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes \ ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client |
For uninstallation, if you have not set executable permissions | sudo chmod +x VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes \ ./VMware-Horizon-Client-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client |
In the installer filename, YYMM represents the marketing version number, x.x.x represents the internal version number, and yyyyyyy represents the build number. arch represents the CPU instruction set architecture.
Using the VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes setting means retain the configuration settings when the client is uninstalled. If this environment variable is not set, you are prompted to specify whether to save the configuration settings.
