VMware Horizon 7 version 7.5.1 is a maintenance release
What’s New in This Release
VMware Horizon 7 version 7.5.1 is a maintenance release that resolves CVE-2018-6971. For details on this issue, see VMSA-2018-0018.
vmware-view:// error open client from browser on linux (Ubuntu 18.04) Workspace ONE
To add protocol handler vmware-view://
you need to add file vmware-view.desktop
to ~/.local/share/applications
.
It looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=VMware Horizon Client
Exec=/vmware-view %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/vmware-view;
Exec and MimeType are very important.
Then you need to add line
x-scheme-handler/vmware-view=vmware-view.desktop
to file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
under [Default Applications]
At the end you will probably need to type command:
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
For me it was working on all browsers.

Mounting Bitlocker Volumes Under Linux
Driver Installation
The software, which makes this possible, is called Dislocker. It is an opensource driver project maintained on Github by Aorimn. To obtain the source code:
git clone https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker.git
Or Ubuntu PPA’s
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dislocker
https://launchpad.net/~hermlnx/+archive/ubuntu/dislocker
Before you can build the driver it is necessary to install some dependencies, including the fuse and polarssl headers:
sudo apt-get install gcc cmake make libfuse-dev libpolarssl-dev ruby-dev
Assuming that these are installed correctly you can then build the project and install the driver as follows:
cd dislocker cmake
make sudo make install
According to Aorimn the current version of the Dislocker driver supports all versions of Bitlocker associated with Windows versions 7, 8, and Windows 10
