You now have a VDI VM running Ubuntu Linux on VMware Horizon View. After installing “mesa-utils”, running “glxgears” and “glxinfo” it did appear that 3D Acceleration was working, however after further investigation it turned out this is CPU rendering and not using the S7150 x2 GPU. Please note that this driver does not work with VMware Horizon View.

Connect to the Ubuntu 20.04 Linux VDI VM from the VMware Horizon ClientĪnd that’s it, you should now be running.Īs for the AMD S7150 x2, I noticed that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS came with the drivers for it called “amdgpu”.

Entitle the User account to the desktop pool and assign to the VM.

Add the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM to the manual desktop pool.

Log on to your Horizon Connection Server.

Install the Horizon Agent For Linux as root (Enabling Audio, Disabling SSO).

Install any vGPU or GPU Drivers you need before installing the Horizon Agent.
