Howto: Install Citrix 9 Under Breezy

[Technoviking]

1. Download Citrix 9.0 client for Linux (RPM version):
http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/downlo...oadID=3323#top

2. Install addtional libraries:

apt-get install libxaw6 libmotif3

3. Link libXm.so.3 so wfcmgr.bin can see it (bug in Citrix client):

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3

4. Convert .rpm to .deb using alien command:

sudo alien ICAClient-9.0-1.i386.rpm

5. Install newly created icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb file:

sudo dpkg -i icaclient_9.0-2_i386.deb

6. Copy over plugins for Firefox/Mozilla:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npica.so 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/npica.so

You may have to do the following if using older Citrix Server
1. Configure ICAClient:

sudo /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr -icaroot /usr/lib/ICAClient

2. Goto the Tools menu and choose settings.

3. Select Server Location from the selection bar.

4. Goto Network Protocol selection bar and change it to TCP/IP and click the Apply button.

Cool How-To! I use the citrix client quite a bit at my university and it is nice to be able to have access to it from linux. I had figured out how to alien the rpm's but it didn't realize that there were plugins for firefox. That is really cool.

"sudo apt-get install libmotif3" returns error "Couldn't find packge libmotif3"

my sources.list:

I think I'm overlooking something obvious...any help would be appreciated.

FYI. I resolved this error by replacing the sources.list file with the one posted at http://www.psychocats.net/linux/sources.php

You need to set you colors to atleast 16 million.

I just installed the client from the citrixc website, found a required certificate and I could connect.

Danish characters, however, are not supported? I get a US keyboard and cant use my citrix connection because of this. From Windows it works perfectly.

Whats wrong?

Hi Mike,

More than a Citrix Client Bug, isn't it a problem with /etc/ld.so.conf? This file does not exist in Ubuntu, but after creating it with

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/lib/
/usr/lib/
/usr/local/lib/
/usr/X11R6/lib/

and running ldconfig, it works perfectly.

Awesome HOW-TO! I had thought that Citrix would never work on Firefox after I installed the rpm. Apparently, there are FF plugins that I missed.

A gazillion thanks!
