VMware Horizon 8 version 2306 includes the following new features and enhancements.

IMPORTANT: Horizon 8 2306 is not supported with vSphere 6.5 or vSphere 6.7, which are both past the end of General Support.  Horizon 8 2306 Instant Clones are incompatible with vSphere 6.5 and vSphere 6.7 so you must upgrade to vSphere 7.0 or later before upgrading to Horizon 8 2306 if you are using Instant Clones.

Debug and Locale

For every package that is created using flatpak-builder, a .Debug and a .Locale package are automatically generated. This is true for both local compilation and CI-compiled packages.

The .Debug package needs to be explicitly installed before it can be used, and it provides debug symbols for debugging with tools like gdb inside the Flatpak, like so:

flatpak install org.kde.yourapp.Debug
flatpak run --command=bash --devel org.kde.yourapp
gdb /app/bin/yourappbinary

The .Locale package is installed alongside a normal installation of your application, but can only be seen with flatpak list --all. It provides locale-specific files based on your default language or extra languages, which can be useful to check for internationalization issues like text wrapping, elision, and mistranslations. By default, Flatpak will try to be smart and deduce the default language based on your locale settings, and the downloaded .Locale will only include the languages listed in languages and extra-languages (if set), so a flatpak update is required to download more languages. For example:

How to provide a BIOS Serial to KVM Guests
Step 1: Determine if a lack of BIOS serial number is the problem. On a Windows guest VM, open cmd and run wmic bios get serialnumber. On a Linux guest, run dmidecode -s system-serial-number in terminal.
Anyway, nano /usr/bin/kvm-spice-serial and stick this in it:

under <os> tab i added a line before </os>

<smbios mode=’sysinfo’/>

and after </cputune> i added

 <sysinfo type=’smbios’>

Horizon 8 2212 is an Extended Service Branch (ESB). Approximately once a year, VMware designates one VMware Horizon release as an Extended Service Branch (ESB). An ESB is a parallel release branch to the existing Current Releases (CR) of the product. By choosing to deploy an ESB, customers receive periodic service packs (SP) updates, which include cumulative critical bug fixes and security fixes. Most importantly, there are no new features in the SP updates, so customers can rely on a stable Horizon platform for their critical deployments. For more information on the ESB and the Horizon versions that have been designated an ESB , see VMware Knowledge Base (KB) article 86477.

VMware Horizon 8 version 2212 includes the following new features and enhancements.

sudo apt install xdotool
Then assign a shortcut to this command in KDE and after your pressing the shortcut, the required text is magically typed for you

Workaround is to open old “Custom Shortcuts” using XWayland: QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb systemsettings

xdotool sleep 0.3 type 'string that you want to type / paste'
