Hello everyone,

I apologize for the delay on this.

This is to inform you that we've uploaded an updated  version 1.0.8.q Beta 8  of Viewer for Linux. Indeed, the Mac version was uploaded a little earlier.
Please note that on the Download page for Viewer for Linux you can now download two versions:  .deb package  that is suitable for Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and other similar Linux builds and the general  .gz binary installation package  that is suitable for any Linux builds.
This version's free period is extended till June 1, 2021.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

It's great to have .deb and .rpm packages!!!
Chapeau!

Remote utitlies viewer doesn't appear in gnome menu and it seems cannot run from terminal "remote-utilities-viewer"

2.  There was a comment on this forum thread about asking snap (for snap store) that suitable for one click installation and applicable for all linux distributions as one build however it seems i cannot find it now or reply about it, may i know why deleted while had a response for that request?

1. Try searching/running 'r-viewer' instead.

It works but that doesn't appear on gnome menu/ app menu :/

2. Currently we do not provide a one-click installation for all flavors of Linux, but maybe there's an unofficial build.

It'll be better release viewer and host(upcomin) to snap store (snapcraft); it helps to one-click install as mentioned and helps to auto update the app; another benefit we may able to use beta, edge builds as well due it support to release software under multiple channels

I am running viewer 1.0.8.q b8 on MacOS 11.3.1, and viewer keeps crashing. Should we expect a more stable version soon ?

Under Linux, When I log into my first remote computer with the Viewer (b8), things seem to work fairly well.  Trying to connect to a second almost ALWAYS causes the application to crash.  Sometimes, just connecting to a second computer after closing the first will cause crash also.  This is not an issue in Windows version.
