To access the VDI I use at work, I am expected to use VMWare Horizont Client. It is available here (https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_horizon_clients/4_0). According to this article in Debian wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/VMware#Installing_VMware_Horizon_Client_on_Jessie) it should be possible to run the client on Debian. I have downloaded the bin and run it. When I try to run the viewer, I end up with this in the shell:
usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Also, I have symlinked libudev.so.0 as described in the article
Where do I find libpng12.so.0 ?
-
in der libpng12-0

Thanks, I actually tried that without success:
root@siductionbox:~# apt-cache search libpng12-0
root@siductionbox:~# apt-get install libpng12-0

is only available from another source

You will need to get that through debports.
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libpng12-0&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all

nu ja - in stable isses drin, ob es allerdings ne sonderlich clevere idee ist, dass in ein laufendes sid zu mixen - aber im allgemeinen brauchts ja nur die binaries und nicht die -dev's

Google translates this to "I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's not a good idea"
I'll give it a try anyway...
-
I would go with debports.

I don't know if I'm doing this correct. Trying to follow this instruction (https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/)
- Add deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main to sources list
- Run apt-get update, I see
Get:2 http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports InRelease [166 kB] - Run apt-get -t jessie-backports install libpng12-0, I still end up with

try the simple jessie (stable) repros
-
Thanks, that did the trick!

Debports are not the same as backports: https://www.ports.debian.org/archive
-
But on debports you will not find any i386 or amd64 deb. ???
-
You are right, I misread arm for amd :)
