AWS dcv: DCV Linux install checks: reformatting and version update

Service: dcv · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: dcv/latest/adminguide/setting-up-installing-linux-checks.md

Summary

Reformats command examples and platform bullet lists (removing the RHEL/Rocky/CentOS/Amazon Linux 2/Ubuntu/SUSE enumeration), adjusts indentation of systemctl/dcvgladmin commands, and updates the example package version from nice-dcv-server_2017.0.0-1_amd64.deb to nice-dcv-server_2025.0.20103-1_amd64.deb.

Security assessment

The only substantive content change is the example package filename version bump (2017.0.0 to 2025.0.20103) plus whitespace/indentation and list cleanup. The DCV checks involve X server access (dcvgladmin enable/disable, SI:localuser:dcv), which is security-adjacent, but no security guidance, permissions, or vulnerability fix is introduced or altered by this diff.
