I installed VMWare Horizons .deb in F96-CE_4; where is it?

Post by Peinfull »

Hello.

I've installed VMWare Horizons through a .deb file, but now i can't find the app anywhere.

I'm using Puppy Linux version F96-CE_4

Is there some way to make it appear on desktop so it has easy access?

Thank you for your help.

@Peinfull I don't know the package very well. I will need to install it to see what is what.......

Is this the correct one? -> https://customerconnect.omnissa.com/dow ... PId=118243

Before I reboot into F96-CE_4...is there supposed to be a menu entry for the app? Does it run from the command line?

No worries if you are not sure, in awhile I'll know more.

Hello.

Yes that's the package.

As far as i know it's supposed to open like a regular regular app with it's menu and a log in.

The executables should have installed to /usr/bin
There are 5 of them that start with vmware-****.

The desktop file is /usr/share/applications/vmware-view.desktop and executes /usr/bin/vmware-view.
You can drag this file to your desktop.
If clicking on that file doesn't work, try

Code: Select all

vmware-view

in a terminal.

Or, if you're using Rox file manager, you can right-click on the file, choose Permissions, then Yes (to make it executable.) I think you might have to do that before you drag it to the desktop (which only creates a link to the file.)

It worked perfectly fine and now we got it on the desktop so any user can easily access it.

Thank you very much for all your help.
