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.

Note: If you are uninstalling version 5.5 or earlier of Horizon Client, the installer filename does not contain the marketing version number YYMM.

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.

Uninstall Horizon Client Using the Debian Installer

Open a Terminal window and run the installer using the package manager of your choice, with the uninstall parameter included (for example, dpkg with -r).

Uninstall Horizon Client Using the RPM Installer

Open a Terminal window and run the uninstallation command.

sudo rpm -e vmware-horizon-client

What to do next

An administrator can reinstall the client or install a new version. See Install or Upgrade Horizon Client for Linux Using the Bundle Installer.
