Uninstall Horizon Client for Linux
You can sometimes resolve problems with Horizon Client by uninstalling and reinstalling the
Horizon Client application.
The method you use for uninstalling Horizon Client for Linux depends on the version and the method you
used for installing the client software.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have root access on the Linux client system.
Procedure

If you have Horizon Client 3.1 or earlier, or if you installed the client from the Ubuntu Software Center,
select Applications > Ubuntu Software Center, and in the Installed Software section, select vmware-
view-client and click Remove.
n
If you have Horizon Client 3.2 or later, which you installed from the VMware Product Downloads Web
site, open a Terminal window, change directories to the directory that contains the installer le, and run
the installer command with the -u option.
sudo env VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes \
./VMware-Horizon-Client-x.x.x-yyyyyyy.arch.bundle -u vmware-horizon-client
In the le name, x.x.x is the version number, yyyyyyy is the build number, and arch is either x86 or x64.
Using the VMWARE_KEEP_CONFIG=yes seing means retain the conguration seings when the client is
uninstalled. If this environment variable is not set, you are prompted to specify whether to save the
conguration seings.
