Linux Repositories on downloads.teradici.com are deprecated
The Linux repositories that existed on downloads.teradici.com are deprecated and should no longer be used. Updating a repository located on downloads.teradici.com will produce a certificate error similar to the following:
$ sudo apt-get update
Certificate verification failed: The certificate is NOT trusted. The certificate chain uses expired certificate. Could not handshake: Error in the certificate verification. [IP: 52.25.54.15 443]
Any references to downloads.teradici.com should be removed. Search for any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for "downloads.teradici.com" and delete them.
For example:
$ grep downloads.teradici.com /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
…returns something similar to: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pcoip.list [...]
…remove the file: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pcoip.list
Once the legacy file is removed, refresh the repository cache.
sudo apt-get update
AVD Client does not time-out on network disruption
When connected to an RDP session with the AVD client, if the network connection between the client and agent is disrupted the connection does not time-out.
If the network disconnects during an RDP session, close and re-open the PCoIP Client, and re-connect to the session manually.
