The Anyware Client 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 Software Client.
Stereo audio output and mono audio input are supported and enabled by default. When an audio device is enabled and used in a session, it is saved as user preferences, and becomes available as the default audio for future sessions.
USB Audio devices should not be bridged to the remote session.
The Anyware Client for Linux supports multiple performance modes to suit different types of workloads. Performance modes are described next. To change the client mode, see Selecting a Client Mode below.
Info
The High Performance (Legacy) mode is no longer supported.
Relative Mouse is a method of translating mouse movements as a delta from the last mouse position rather than a move to an absolute position on the screen. This type of mouse control is used in many CAD/CAM, Visual Effects and First-Person Gaming software. In a CAD program you may want to control an objects orientation in 3-D with mouse movements.
The following keyboard shortcuts apply when using the Anyware Client for Linux for Linux to access a Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) using RDP:
There a number of system level keyboard shortcuts on Ubuntu 18.04 that can affect your remote desktop experience. If you are using some of these keys then it is recommended that you re-map or disable them.
There are separate keyboard shortcuts if you are connecting to a Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) using RDP, as outlined below.
On Linux Clients that connect to Windows agents, sometimes, hotkeys do not work as expected. Specifically, the clients inconsistently receive Super key press events if the Super key is mapped to the local system. This issue can be resolved by disabling the Super key on the client machine.
To do this, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweaks
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key
The Anyware Client for Linux does not support Wayland on Ubuntu 22.04 machines. If Wayland is enabled on your machine, the Anyware Client is unable to retrieve the monitor display EDID, resulting in display issues while connecting to a PCoIP session.
Follow the steps given below to disable Wayland, and use Xorg instead.
On the Anyware Software Client for Linux using either Ctrl+Alt+SHIFT+F12 or Ctrl+Alt+F12 will switch to virtual terminal 12, which typically does not exist. This can result in a blank screen. To avoid this you can disable virtual terminal functionality by creating a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-pcoip.conf with the following contents:
Welcome to the Anyware Client for Linux Administrators' Guide.
Anyware Software Clients are applications that establish PCoIP sessions with remote Windows, Linux, or macOS desktops. Connections can be made to Anyware agents installed on virtual or physical machines, or to Remote Workstation Cards in physical workstations.
