Installing the Agent

Instructions are provided here for installing the Standard Agent for Linux on RHEL/Rocky Linux and Ubuntu. If you are installing on a physical machine, see the special instructions provided below.

The Standard Agent for Linux supports Wacom tablets in two configurations: bridged, where peripheral data is sent to the desktop for processing, and locally terminated, where peripheral data is processed locally at the Anyware client.

The Standard Agent for Linux provides support for USB devices and certain Wacom tablets attached to Anyware clients.

Tangent Panel Support

The Standard Agent for Linux does not support printing from local printers connected to Anyware clients. Similarly, printing from USB printers that are connected by means of the USB Bridging feature is also not supported.

The following printing options are available:

• Linux agents can print to any printer on the host agents' local area network.
• If your agent machine has access to the Internet, cloud-based printing is supported through cloud-printing services such as Google Cloud Print and HP Mobile Printing.

PCoIP Ultra

The Standard Agent for Linux provides support for PCoIP Ultra. PCoIP Ultra is optimized for truly lossless support with bit-exact color accuracy and preservation of content detail at the highest frame rates.

PCoIP Ultra protocol enhancements propels our industry-recognized performance into the future of remote computing, with faster, more interactive experience for users of remote workstations working with high-resolution content.

Supported Displays

The Standard Agent for Linux supports a maximum of four displays on the Anyware client, and a maximum resolution of 4K UHD (3840×2160).

Monitors can be arranged in a vertical line, a horizontal line, or as a 2×2 box display. They can be used in any standard rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°), with any monitor as the primary display.

Collaboration

PCoIP Ultra Collaboration enables a PCoIP session user to share their session with multiple remote collaborators using Anyware Software Clients.

Audio Support

The Standard Agent for Linux supports audio input and output between the host and the client. Audio can be enabled or disabled and audio bandwidth can be throttled by configuring the agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a screensaver?

Yes. However, a blank, static screensaver will provide the most efficient CPU and network bandwidth usage.
