Deprecation Warning for Ubuntu 18.04
This is the last release of the Software Client for Linux that will support Ubuntu 18.04. Future releases will not support Ubuntu 18.04.
Error Messages no Longer Persisting in Anyware Client UI
Anyware Client 23.04 corrects an issue where an error message, such as incorrect password or unable to connect, would persist from prior connection attempts, and appear when attempting a new connection.
Dropdown menu for framerate now properly updated on monitor topology change
Dropdown menu for framerate is properly updated when going from two or more fullscreen monitors to one fullsscreen monitor
Anyware Client no longer attempts internet connection in closed network
Anyware Client 23.04 corrects an issue where the PCoIP client could attempt to make a connection to the internet at startup.
PCoIP Client can connect to Remote Workstation Card with root certificate
The PCoIP Root CA cert may be installed into a client system in order to enable access to the Remote Workstation Card web user interface. Installing this certificate no longer prevents the PCoIP client from establishing a PCoIP session with the same Remote Workstation Card using the legacy direct connection method.
Fractional Scaling not Supported on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04
The PCoIP Client for Linux does not support fractional scaling on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. When fractional scaling is enabled, the user may experience a client crash when switching to full-screen mode or experience issues with screen layout and mouse coordinate mapping.
Turn off Fractional Scaling in Ubuntu Settings under Screen Display.
The name of network shown in Anyware Health Monitor does not change during a session
In Anyware Health Monitor, the name of network shown will not change during a session even if the actual network changes.
For example, if an ethernet cable is pulled out and the system switches to WiFi, the name of network will not change in the Anyware Health Monitor display until the session is disconnected and reconnected.
When entering credentials, pressing Enter in Username field does not advance cursor to Password field
Pressing Enter on the Username field does not advance the text entry cursor to the Password field.
Use the Tab button or mouse to move from the Username field to the Password field.
Linux Client running on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 are unable to connect to Remote Workstation Card
Linux Clients running on Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 cannot connect to Remote Workstation Cards.
Resizing collaboration session window causes crash
Re-sizing the PCoIP Client window while participating in a PCoIP Ultra Collaboration session may cause the PCoIP client to crash.
Avoid re-sizing client window size while participating in a PCoIP Ultra Collaboration session.
If this occurs, re-start the collaboration session by sending a new invitation to the Guest Collaborator.
Keyboard and Mouse Freeze when Connected to Remote Workstation Card in Windowed Mode
Keyboard and Mouse can freeze when connected to a Remote Workstation Card while the Soft Client is in windowed mode.
If this occurs, switch the client to full-screen mode to reestablish Keyboard and Mouse functionality.
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
