HowTo Install the Citrix ICA client

[baconn]

MGMiller --- thank you very much. I thought I had a prime-working machine until my wife borrowed this to do some online nursing training and it would not allow access to her Citrix server for the coursework. I did all you had instructed except, when extracting the Linuxxx86.tar.gz file, it extraced the contents of the folder to all separate files on the desktop. I dragged them back into the icainstall folder and it worked perfectly!
Thanks again!

The instructions worked for me on 9.04 64-bit after I applied a security certificate.

Here's how to get the security certificate for Equifax (among others):

Also afterwards I got an error message that said:

The socks 5 handshake failed (SSL error 29)

Information about this error is found at the official Citrix site:
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX122965

That is most likely a server side error that can occur with newer version of the server gateway. I tested this with an older server and it works perfectly.

Heyy all

Yeah, an old thread but still needed and i think we need to update it..

Installing Citrix icaclient on ubuntu, specially 64bit, isn't easy...

Upgraded yesterday from 12.04 to 12.10 and icaclient (12.0) won't work

/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica -desc "TEST"
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

(wfica:19103): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_error_trap_pop: assertion `gdk_error_traps != NULL' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I tried then to install latest icaclient v12.1 amd64 and needed to get a patched version, check this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/14715...kage-icaclient

Installation of icaclient was success, but still same arrer (see above).

Here some information:

apt-cache policy icaclient
icaclient:
Installed: 12.1.0
Candidate: 12.1.0
Version table:
*** 12.1.0 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


apt-cache policy libmotif4
libmotif4:
Installed: 2.3.3-5ubuntu2
Candidate: 2.3.3-5ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 2.3.3-5ubuntu2 0
500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/multiverse amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


I tried some stuff from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo but without success.

Maybe some of you can help, give a hint.

Thanks a lot

Cheers
