I am using Waveforms on Ubuntu with Analogue Discovery 2 hardware. All works well on a local Ubuntu install. However in order to roll this out for student laboratories we will be using a Ubuntu image on a VDI and the VMWare Horizon client on Windows for access. When I attempt this the Waveforms application runs does not see the Analogue Discovery 2 Device. The Analogue Discovery USB device has been attached/connected to the VDI client and is listed when I type lsusb on a linux terminal. Is this something that should work, or are there any known solutions? If not what are the recommended workarounds?
The context of what I am trying to do is use the Analogue Discover 2 as a test instrument for DSP hardware practicals for my students. My preference is to use Ubuntu as the C/DSP development platform and therefore also to have Waveforms running on Ubuntu as the test instruments. At my university Ubuntu is provided over the VDI - they don't want to support dual boot as this disables the secure booth facilities (aparently). Any suggestions welcome. A fallback is to do it all on Windows but this would, in my opinion, be very much second best.
