Guacamiole 1.6.0 Installer update:
I manually edited the 1-setup.sh script to the 1.6.0 release candidate 1 version .
All seemed to install perfectly on a vanillia Debian 12 instance, and I can verifiy successful connection to Gucamole 1.6.0.
If anyone would like to evalute 1.6.0 further, simply adjust the 1-setup.sh (or upgrade-guacamole.sh) scripts to this or similar as release candidated roll forward:
# Version of Guacamole to install
GUAC_VERSION="1.6.0"
GUAC_SOURCE_LINK="https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/guacamole/1.6.0-RC1/"
Please come back with any installer related issues.
Hi itiligent),
Gucamole 1.6 has been released on the official website since the 22nd.
Can you please tell me what I need to change in the upgrade.sh file so that 1.6 installs automatically?
Actually, it's only one or two things, as I understand your script.
Thank you for making this available here. Best regards
@itiligent 1.6.0 has been released, I update like above, some little quirks, like multi connection being broken and openid, I'm yet to discover if this is a problem of my instance or 1.6.0 update, though I found in the log the following error:
guacd[1249]: DEBUG: Client is using protocol version "VERSION_1_5_0"
guacd[1249]: DEBUG: Attempting private key import (WITHOUT passphrase)
guacd[1249]: DEBUG: Initial import failed: (null)
Is it possible that the client does not get updated to 1.6.0, only the server?
@Thiwico yes you only need to update 1.5.5 to 1.6.0 and mysql to 9.3.0 that's it.
Ok, I just bumped up the Guacamole and MySQL versions in the installer and upgrade scripts. Lets see how that goes.

there is a small mistake. The Version for the masql connector schould be MYSQLJCON="9.3.0" but its MYSQLJCON="9.3.0 ". There ist a unneeded space.
When I run upgrade.sh, I get the following message:
Possible previous install files detected. Please review and remove old guacamole install files before proceeding.
What exactly do I need to do now?
I thought the upgrade worked automatically?
I have this:
Call the Update Script as guacamole user with Sudo. Not as Root.
I was able to upgrade successfully but have hit issues with the Duo extension - I reconfigured it to use the new API as per the directions, and I get prompted to authenticate. This is successful but my session just takes me back to the login. I can see the request in the tomcat log as:
GET /?state=<redacted>&duo_code=<redacted> HTTP/1.1" 302 -
But that's all and the Duo console said all was fine. If I add the above to the URL of the browser it lets me in and all is working.
I think it's the redirect-uri that could be the issue but can't figure out what it could be and have tried
https://guacamole.mydomain.com/
https://guacamole.mydomain.com/guacamole/#/
I'm using HAProxy to proxy the HTTPS connection to the HTTP connection and I cannot see an issue there, and it's always worked until now.
I'd be happy to ditch Duo if there was some way to use Passkeys, but I might have to revert TOTP.
I dont no what i do wrong
my User tadmin is in the sudo group so I rolled back my snapshot, adjusted the upgrade.sh, and ran the script again.
Same error
Ok, I've now fixed
- the typos in the guacamole version link
- A new DUO redirect issue. The default install no longer redirects to the Guacamole root url. I've also added a warning with this redirect install option.
For those upgrading, most seem to be having success. backup first!.
Please post any fixes or workarounds you come up with.
@itiligent yes so far I seem to have problem with SSO and multiple SSH connections, I reported that on the mailing list, unsure if update problem or actual bug.
I've previously found that recreating ssh connection objects again after upgrade has fixed weird ssh issues like that for me

yes alright, problem with the ssh mullticonnect crash has been resolved by pressing ctrl-F5 (hard-refresh)
Just adding that my upgrade from 1.5.5 to 1.6.0 worked flawlessly, and now the issue of not being able to use RDP with Ubuntu 24.04+ is solved in the new version.
Thank you very much, @itiligent
@itiligent The update script has already been completed and can I safely upgrade? Or should we wait for the full release in the repository?

The script downloads the source directly from Apache, nothing installable is kept in this repo
If you built your < = v1.5.5 Gauc server previously with this script, you can simply update the script to the latest version guac version NEW_GUAC_VERSION = "1.6.0" NEW_MYSQLJCON = "9.3.0" (The upgrade script should be in $home/guac-setup if you installed Guac with the 1-setup.sh script prior)
If you installed Guac in some other way, you will need to provide values to the upgrade script settings below (these values are populted automatically when installing with the 1-setup.sh script)
INSTALL_MYSQL=""
MYSQL_HOST=""
MYSQL_PORT=""
GUAC_USER=""
GUAC_PWD=""
GUAC_DB=""
MYSQL_ROOT_PWD=""
RDP_SHARE_HOST=""
RDP_SHARE_LABEL=""
RDP_PRINTER_LABEL=""
GUACD_ACCOUNT=""
@itiligent I have the same issue as @Thiwico

@defau1t17 I've just raised a PR to fix this https://github.com/itiligent/Easy-Guacamole-Installer/pull/80
@itiligent After having issues with audi permission assigning in group and writing to the mailing list, seems like one needs to run a manual migration located inside guacamole-auth-jdbc-1.6.0.tar.gz in subfolder mysql/schema/upgrade/upgrade-pre-1.6.0.sql
which is the following command:
ALTER TABLE `guacamole_system_permission`
MODIFY `permission` enum('CREATE_CONNECTION',
'CREATE_CONNECTION_GROUP',
'CREATE_SHARING_PROFILE',
'CREATE_USER',
'CREATE_USER_GROUP',
'AUDIT',
'ADMINISTER') NOT NULL;
Otherwise if a user selects "Audit" permission, guacamole will crash unrecoverably and require manual Database cleanup to fix. Maybe this can be run as part of this script?
Thanks!
I got the upgrade error-free, but the RDP connections no longer work? Is there anything known?
screen remains black. server does not establish a connection. Firewall logs are empty, no connection.

Before going any further, try recreating new RDP connection objects. I've seen similar in earlier upgrades. Then from there try to the usual next steps such as manually establishing RDP from guac server command line (if running a desktop) You also could update to freerdp3. I've not updated the script yet as no time to test. - see #79
I have the same problem as @benhur4942 I upgraded without errors from 1.5.5 to 1.6 (VM debian 11 freerdp2 2.3.0 stable) using the script and after that rdp connections don't work but no error messages found in the logs. VNC and ssh work OK. I had to go back to snapshot with 1.5.5 where rdp is working ok.
Same issue as @caralo and @benhur4942 rdp connection on windows is not working after the upgrade even when deleting/recreating the connection black screen with nothing in logs…

This migration tasks you mention is already called in the upgrade script via this section:
# Don't run the SQL upgrade commands if original setup option was set to remote MySQL instance. - Use separate DB update script.
if [[ "${INSTALL_MYSQL}" = true ]]; then
# Get list of SQL Upgrade Files
echo -e "${GREY}Upgrading MySQL Schema..."
UPGRADEFILES=($(ls -1 guacamole-auth-jdbc-${NEW_GUAC_VERSION}/mysql/schema/upgrade/ | sort -V))
# Compare SQL Upgrage Files against old version, apply upgrades as needed
for FILE in ${UPGRADEFILES[@]}; do
FILEVERSION=$(echo ${FILE} | grep -oP 'upgrade-pre-\K[0-9\.]+(?=\.)')
if [[ $(echo -e "${FILEVERSION}\n${OLD_GUAC_VERSION}" | sort -V | head -n1) == ${OLD_GUAC_VERSION} && ${FILEVERSION} != ${OLD_GUAC_VERSION} ]]; then
echo "Patching ${GUAC_DB} with ${FILE}"
if [[ ! -z "$MYSQL_ROOT_PWD" ]]; then
mysql -u root -p${MYSQL_ROOT_PWD} -D ${GUAC_DB} -h ${MYSQL_HOST} -P ${MYSQL_PORT} <guacamole-auth-jdbc-${NEW_GUAC_VERSION}/mysql/schema/upgrade/${FILE} &>>${INSTALL_LOG}

Only some are having issues with RDP, so likely an RDP library compatibility thing. Guac 1.6.0 made some changes to their minimum supported freerdp2+ builds I think. I've updated both the build and upgrade scripts to install freerdp3. In my testing I cant replicate.
take a deer look that logs by enabling debugging:
guacd -L debug
also another test will be to take libguac-client-rdp.so from v1.5.5 and overwrite this same file in v1.6.0
