flathub / com.amazon.workspaces Goto Github PK

Hi, is it possible to update to the new WorkSpaces client (2023) - https://d3nt0h4h6pmmc4.cloudfront.net/new_workspacesclient_jammy_amd64.deb as per https://clients.amazonworkspaces.com/linux-install

I understand it may deprecate PCoIP WorkSpaces, but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere AWS weren't putting any development effort into them anymore anyway with the new focus on the WSP protocol

BTW, how can I enable clipboard integration in flatpak? The deb version
works fine with the host clipboard.

Recently, the Workspaces client has stopped letting me login. After entering my registration code it just shows a blank white screen rather than the usual login page.

I don't believe it's an issue with my Workspace because I'm able to access it from Windows or Ubuntu without any issue.

I tried manually updating the Workspaces version to 5/2023 but my computer doesn't have enough resources to compile it :(

WorkSpaces version: 4.6.0.4187 (2023.06.20)
Flatpak version: 1.15.4
Linux version: 6.4.15-200.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep 7 00:25:01 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I updated to com.amazon.Workspaces 4.5.0.4198. It doesn't accept '~' char from my keyboard somehow. (The key works in other apps). Other keys work fine. I wonder if this issue only happens to me?

I recently switched to an AMD GPU and therefore received the privilege of using Wayland. When using Amazon Workspaces and switching to full screen mode, only 1 monitor is used. Both monitors are identical resolutions and refresh rates.

Additionally, while in full screen interacting with the menu buttons in the Workspaces client (e.g. the exit full screen button) sends the click to the Workspace underneath. To exit, I need to click the "View" button and then use the keyboard to navigate and select.

It has occurred to me that the Flathub image is only 64x which is not great. It makes the entire application look quite blurry, while there is an .svg in the package.

The reason this happens, is because there is only a scalable svg image in the package, and Flathub converts those for use on the website.

Fix

What you could do, is package a x64, x128 and x256 image yourself. The easiest way is with a one-liner like this:

"for size in 64 128 256 512; do rsvg-convert -u -w $size -h $size -f png -o $size.png $FLATPAK_DEST/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/com.amazon.Workspaces.svg; install -Dm644 $size.png $FLATPAK_DEST/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps/com.amazon.Workspaces.png; done",

I cannot login and keep getting a "Contact Network Admin" error. Works fine through the native ubuntu app.

• Fedora Silverblue

Any ideas?

Running Pop OS 21.04 AWS Workspace starts but provides an error (Unknown Error Occurred) preventing from logging into a workspace. Uninstalled and removed the personal directory and still did not resolve the issue. Testing the official deb version and that works fine.
