VMWare Horizon Installs Fine but does not Start
Hi all,
I am new to Fedora and have recently installed the latest version (28). I downloaded and installed the VMWare Horizon virtual desktop client successfully and set all the post-EULA parameters to "no" as per stuff I found with Google, except for the ability to access a USB drive.
When I click the icon to open the program, it simply does not start. I am wondering what else I can do at this point. I installed some other random things (again, as per online guides I found on Google) but that has not helped beyond getting the program installed.
I'd contact their tech support but they say I need to contact them through the university, and the university says I need to contact them, and etc. I have the program running fine on Mint and Lubuntu, it'd just be nice to get it going on Fedora so I can run it on my nice(r) laptop.
UPDATE:
When I try to open it in terminal it throws the following error:
/usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view-crtbora: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libpangomm-1.4.so.1: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib6ObjectC2EOS0_
When I enter ldd /usr/lib/vmware/view/bin/vmware-view It returns a couple of things as missing: libssl.so.1.0.2 => not found libcrypto.so.1.0.2 => not found
I can't for the life of me figure out how to install these things.
start it from command line and read/post the output. There is very little information provided we could work with.

Hey Florian,
When I try to open it in terminal it throws the following error:
Googled around on that and couldn't find anything. When I enter
It returns a couple of things as missing:

To answer your question I had seen the first and third links, but not the second. I was able to successfully install everything therein but still have the same symptoms.
Another thing: I tried simply typing vmware-view into the terminal, which produces:
Unexpected signal: 11. Unexpected signal: 11.
According to Google this implies a hardware fault, but I can run the same program on the same hardware using Mint instead of Fedora.
