Hello Simon,

Thank you for your feedback.

1. It looks like you trying to run/execute a .deb file. You must install it instead. 

apt install ./host1.0.27.b27_amd64.deb
# or
dpkg -i host1.0.27.b27_amd64.deb
2. The previously installed host might be running still. You need to uninstall it first: 

./r-host -uninstall
Support level: Pro
So far so good with the new v1.0.27.q beta 27 viewer on Debian 13 AMD64 running GNOME and Wayland! Love the new file transfer capability. Keep up the great work!

Is there any plans to be able to remotely upgrade a host version from the Linux Viewer side? This can only be done with the Windows Viewer side currently.

Thanks!

Hi Daryl,

Thank you for the kind words.

Is there any plans to be able to remotely upgrade a host version from the Linux Viewer side? This can only be done with the Windows Viewer side currently.

Yes, this is definitely in our plans. Ideally, this should encompass updating both Windows hosts and Linux/macOS hosts. We'll do our best to implement it as soon as possible.
