Trying to get the wake Agent running on Ubuntu Server, but holy-moly 492 dependancies? xserver? printing? wallpapers?

Does Wayk Agent not support a gui-less server os?

thanks.Peet

Hello Peet,

Here is the list of dependencies for the Linux Wayk Agent installer. Please note that for now, the Wayk Agent for Linux is made to take remote control of the UI. The equivalent of PSRemoting (remoting using PowerShell cmdlets) is available for Windows now, and the engineering team is currently working on adding that feature to macOS and Linux.

  1. libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.17.9)
  2. libappindicator3-1 (>= 0.2.92)
  3. libnotify4 (>= 0.7.0)
  4. libxext6
  5. libxcursor1
  6. libxrandr2
  7. libxfixes3
  8. libxtst6
  9. libxinerama1
  10. libc6 (>= 2.18)
  11. libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4)
  12. libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.9.14)
  13. libgcc1 (>= 1:3.3)
  14. libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 (>= 2.25.2)
  15. libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.37.3)
  16. libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1)

  22. libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1)
  23. zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

Okay, fair enough. Do you have any timeline on the feature reaching macOS/Linux, so I have an idea of when to spin up another trial?For Obvious reasons, I won't be installing this on my headless linux instances ...

As I wrote the above I noticed that other base-functionality like SRD is also not available on macOS/Linux. Is there a breakdown of features by OS? I'm definitely not a fan of the SRP auth method.

Thanks.Peet

Hello Peet,

I verified with the engineering team and there are no plans in the short term to support truly headless systems. You can read our blog to see the current roadmap of our different products. Wayk is located at the bottom of the post: https://blog.devolutions.net/2021/01/devolutions-2021-roadmap

SRD is available for both macOS and Linux, have you encountered any issues with it?

We do not have a specific list of features per OS. Sometimes, the new feature comes out on Windows first, but they are ported to the other platforms a few releases later.

Best regards,

Richard Boisvert
