ens33:

- 10.0.1.12/24

Install Horizon Agent:
Needed Files:
# apt install make gcc libglvnd-dev open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-dev open-vm-tools-desktop
Then unzip and install agent (reboot afterwards)
Attach agent to horizon client
Enable RDP access:
# sudo apt install xrdp
Change default destkop if another one is installed:
# sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
Install KDE:
# sudo apt install kde-full
See previous to change destkop
Install desktop settings as normal server:
https://thegnome.nchar.com/linux-links/a-base-linux-setup
When using a domain, you'll need to add home path or the desktop will get lots of errors. Do do this:
Edit /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.d/ubuntu
Uncomment the @{HOMEDIRS} to something such as this:
@{HOMEDIRS}+=/home/MYDOMAINCOMPANY/
Make sure to use the trailing slash. Reboot to restart all the services needed.
Make the Desktop use an upper toolbar to save space (like a mac *sigh*):
Add a blank new top pannel. Then add to it, from left to right: application menu, global menu, spacer, system area.
Add latte dock for the bottom menu
# sudo apt-get install latte-dock
Install windows button applet - Prerequisite:
# sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake extra-cmake-modules qtbase5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libkf5declarative-dev libkf5plasma-dev libkdecorations2-dev gettext
Grab the install files:
https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons
Then install from that directory:
# ./install.sh
Add app to top bar
Remove the borders of maximized windows in KDE
# kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group Windows --key BorderlessMaximizedWindows true
# qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure
While this actually works -- if you've got latte active than you need to go to details of the layout and disable boarders there. Also support boarderless windows layouts in the default profile.
