A followup. The most recent server update broke the 4.5 open client.
Good news, there *is* a 64 bit 5.0 linux client. The trick is, it is not (yet)
available in ubuntu package management, although apparently this will change
soon.
Also, this 5.0 client seems to still require the symlink fix,
So. I asked around. If anyone here is trying to use Linux in the corporate
world and encountering what I encountered, here's the rundown.
Ubuntu removed this because Debian removed it.
Debian's page is here:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vmware-view-open-client.html
It was apparently pulled
Oh... This is kind of important I guess... I'm using vmware-view-open-
client because vmware-view-client is, for some reason, i386 only -
perhaps that's due to being non-open source as the maintainer of this
package noted.
vmware-view-open-client was as noted above, annoyingly, removed from
Oh, and, I get the feeling the symlink/packaging part will not be fixed any
time soon.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/vmware-view-open-client exists
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/vmware-view-open-client 404 - this despite
the fact that on computer #1 I have vmware-view-open-client in
One more thing to add. The maintainer I think was under the impression the
semi-broken vmware-view package (that has that hardcoded module directory path)
was closed source, so:
http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/view_open_client
Oh, and you'll have to repeat this process if the vmware-view and opensc
packages are updated without incorporating the changes above of course.

So. I encountered this when VMWare View was completely unable to connect to our
view server using 14.04 LTS.
After digging through the log, encountered this bug report.
Some further digging turned up:
