Horizon Client Linux, Domain User, and USB Redirect issue

We have a problem with USB redirection on the Linux client, the issue is present when a Linux guest OS (UBUNTU 20.04 in my case) is joined at the domain and we try to use a domain user to access the Linux to start a Horizon session with the Horizon client

The issue is “ USB initializing…” remain for all time and no USB device is redirected
