Arch Linux User Repository

The package is now finally upgraded to the latest 2024.x release!

Thanks to @row's patch it not only supports the DCV, but also continues to support PCoIP.

If anyone has issues with the new release: I also published the old release under a new name here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amazon-workspaces-legacy-bin

Please still comment here if you have any issues with the new release & include your streaming protocol (DCV/PCoIP). Thanks!

Thank you very much @row.

Hello @ggil

This mean you are not deleting the deb file before you do a new build and therefore not using the latest version.

Check the version of the DEB file you have using dpkg and confirm it's the latest version like below.

It will be better if you use an AUR helper like yay it will automate the process for you.

 dpkg-deb -I workspacesclient_amd64.deb

 Package: workspacesclient
 Version: 3.0.7.470
 Section: misc
 Priority: optional
 Architecture: amd64
 Depends: libgtk-3-0, libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37, libsoup2.4-1
 Maintainer: Amazon WorkSpaces
 Description: Amazon WorkSpaces Client for Ubuntu 18.04

I was able to get the package to build by substituting in the previous sha512 sum in PKGBUILD.

Replaced

sha512sums=('ce0c6b10f89f197620fe3ac88f4085da518064363cbd015fe7a5eceef217699552d3024b599fcf87f2ef9b7b3da907e66134fed633e335964d36813d490fd695')

with

sha512sums=('e3dd2523635d6d6e471eca79715994731dab76654467419f423392f8ed08fa9acf486c13860b7fe0dc165fe451299adc8274d38ec116991a2587b2fd105726ca')

But then Amazon Workspaces reports that it is still version 3.0.6.444. Maybe something still sitting in cache.

I have the same error as @Pete.

Here's the PKGBUILD contents:

# Maintainer: Asem Arafa <asem.arafa at gmail dot com>

package() {
    cd "$srcdir"
    tar axfv data.tar.xz -C "${pkgdir}"
}

Same as under View PKGBUILD.

Hello @Pete

Are you sure you are using the latest PKGBUILD? All seems ok from my end

Unfortunately the build seems broken at the moment:

==> Validating source files with sha512sums... workspacesclient_amd64.deb ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Error downloading sources: amazon-workspacesclient

I've been able to install and use the most recent version (at the time I installed the package) with a local change to the version number and sha256sum

3.0.4.321 / e469321f89547a5ed89a59ee9ea8d95e6b2407d903a3d0a34b7a086b04fb41d9
