Citrix Receiver on Ubuntu 13.10!

[pbandjam]

Hi,

I am relatively new to linux and am loving it so far! Everything works super smooth and fast. I've had issues with getting flash to work and detecting my sound driver but found work arounds to them.
A class I'm in requires me to use Citrix Receiver to access their network programs but whatever I do I can't seem to open the program. I am dual booting currently to both win8 and ubuntu at the moment and this is the only reason I am keeping Win8. Any help is appreciated!

There are a few other threads on this forum regarding Citrix and 13.10. See here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181903&highlight=13.10+citrix) and here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2166020&highlight=13.10+citrix).

Ok, so I've already tried looking up this issue but keep running into errors. I used the first link you provided and when it asks for:

dpkg-deb -x icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb foo

I get this in return:

dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive `icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb': No such file or directory

Did you download the file from the citrix website (http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux/receiver-for-linux-121.html)?

[pbandjam]

Yes, I downloaded it but when I try to install it I get:
"Dependency is not satisfiable: ia-32labs"

[pbandjam]

I tried this instead:

dpkg-deb -x icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb

And got:

dpkg-deb: error: --extract needs a target directory.
Perhaps you should be using dpkg --install ?

[LkpPo]

Try : dpkg --install icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb

[pbandjam]

Try : dpkg --install icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb

Now I'm getting:

dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege


This isn't even making any sense. I'm the only person who uses this computer :(

[pbandjam]

Again tried installed with root


dpkg --install icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb
dpkg: error processing icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb

[Toz]

Please follow the posted instructions carefully, you are missing some parameters to those commands. And run those commands from the same directory to which you downloaded the citrix deb file.

Instruction:

dpkg-deb -x icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb foo

Your command:

dpkg-deb -x icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb

[Toz]

Again tried installed with root


dpkg --install icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb
dpkg: error processing icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb

And now you've got a failed install. You'll need to run that first command to remedy this problem:

sudo dpkg -P icaclient

[pbandjam]

I already tried that command above thats when I got:


dpkg-deb -x icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb foo
dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive `icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb': No such file or directory

[pbandjam]

And now you've got a failed install. You'll need to run that first command to remedy this problem:

sudo dpkg -P icaclient

Okay so now I'm getting:


dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove icaclient which isn't installed

[Toz]

Okay so now I'm getting:
dpkg-deb -x icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb foo
dpkg-deb: error: failed to read archive `icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb': No such file or directory
The command is unable to find the file. In what directory is icaclient_12.1.0_amd64.deb? Where did you download it to?

Okay, then you don't have to worry about it.

I downloaded it to 'Downloads' :(

[Toz]

Open a terminal window and go to the Downloads directory:

cd Downloads
...then start going through those instructions.

[pbandjam]

~/Downloads$ missing=$(cat ica_missing_packages | awk '{print $1}'); sudo apt-get -y install $missing

What does this mean?

[Toz]

The instructions worked for me. However, if you look at post #3 from that thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181903&p=12821080&viewfull=1#post12821080), you'll see that their issue was similar to the one that you are having. They ended up solving the issue installing the beta version - instructions are included in that post.

I'm sorry but I really seem to be reading gibberish here. I don't understand a single word of these shell commands and even when I try to go through with them I have no idea what's going on. If their instructions were systematic to my issue I would have been able to solve it. But thanks for the help :)

I think I'll just stick to windows for now.
