Mageia forum

Hi,
I 'm trying to get the Citrix ICAclient 13 working on Mageia 4 x64 with Gnome.
The installation of the ICAclient 13 is successfull without errors (I used linuxx86-13.0.0.256735.tar.gz).
And the ICA plugin is successfully registered in Firefox.

But when I try to open an ica icon, nothing happens (not even an error message).

I know that the ICAclient is terrible to install, because so far I only got it working with Mint and OpenSuse the last couple of months (no luck either with Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Manjara).
And Citrix support also doesn't seem to care.

Any ideas?

Hello and welcome jaap2012.

Recently there was another topic concerning Citrix, maybe have a look.
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6649&hilit=citrix

Why is it terrible to install? So far you install the rpm that they offer, and then make sure your browser will open .ica files automatically with the wfica.sh script.
What happens when you instead download an .ica file and run it manually with the wrapper script, as suggested in the linked thread already?

I also can't download the ica file.
Ica has no association yet in Firefox.

So if you click on the icon in the Citrix Gateway, you don't get an .ica file offered? Firefox does nothing?
That's a problem with the Citrix portal then, as mentioned in the other thread it could also be published apps, not sure if they work in Linux.

So far all the Citrix portals I've encountered at dayjob work just fine. You can even modify the wfica.sh launcher to change the settings in the .ica file before opening then.
If you don't get an .ica file offered, problem is not with the Citrix Receiver because it has nothing to receive.

No, the Citrix portal is fine.
It works with Windows and also works with Suse.

It must be a setting in Firefox then.

Do you see any plugin or addon in Firefox related to Citrix? What do you see when going to preferences, applications and search for ica ?
Please post a screenshot for that.

Hi,

I'm having this problem too.

Looking at terminal output after using urpmi at the command line to install (graphical install of packages isn't working on my system) there is the following error message in there:

/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/icalicence.sh: line 22: /util/echo_cmd: No such file or directory

What this means:

There is an EULA agreement to be agreed to - as the licence hasn't been agreed to the install of Citrix Receiver fails (almost) silently.

When I have a moment I'll look into getting the licence agreed to.

jaap2012 - were you asked to agree to the licence when you installed receiver?

Peace.

Yep but that was with 12.x

Can you show the output of

Code: Select all: grep -C5 echo_cmd /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/icalicence.sh

Here we go.

This is the output as both normal user and root. (I changed 'licence' to 'license' - pesky American spelling)

[rick@localhost Downloads]$ grep -C5 echo_cmd /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/icalicense.sh
then
mkdir /etc/icalicense
fi
if test ! -f /etc/icalicense/clientlicense
then
"$ICAROOT/util/echo_cmd" -l >/etc/icalicense/clientlicense
fi
chmod 444 /etc/icalicense/clientlicense
chmod 555 /etc/icalicense

This ties in with the error message I posted above - as relates to the 'echo_cmd' error message following the urpmi install.

I'm pretty sure that getting the EULA agreement OK'd is the answer here though I am often wrong.

FYI - in Mageia 3 I'd install the 2 relevant rpm's from Citrix graphically and (thinks hard) get asked to agree to the licenc(s)e.

Peace.

And you're sure that was also Receiver v13? That was just released recently IIRC ...

FWIW, the problem is that the script is quite messy. The environment variable $ICAROOT is not set (empty), so that operation will fail, as it tries to run

Code: Select all: "/util/echo_cmd" -l >/etc/icalicense/clientlicense

and there's no command /util/echo_cmd.
$ICAROOT should be set to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient
and that echo_cmd does exist:

Code: Select all: [doktor5000@Mageia3 ~]$ ls -al /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/echo_cmd -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 15252 Nov 8 11:55 /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/echo_cmd*

You should be able to fix this as follows (as root)

Code: Select all: mkdir -p /etc/icalicense /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/echo_cmd -l >/etc/icalicense/clientlicense chmod 444 /etc/icalicense/clientlicense chmod 555 /etc/icalicense /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/integrate.sh

You get a menu launcher, but it will segfault when you run it.
You can run /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/configmgr or /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/conncenter but the receiver itself segfaults all the time here.
I've went through guide some of the guides for v13, but all required 32 and 64 bit libraries are installed, and I've removed oxygen-gtk as that seems to cause issues.

As you can see even for Ubuntu the installation is quite messy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2181903

Best use one of the older versions: http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix- ... x-121.html

Right then.

This guide gives you a working Receiver 12.1 - Not Receiver 13 - That looked like Too Much Pain

1. Citrix is now working.
2. I've listed below what I did, based on doktor5000's advice, to get a result
3. What I've listed below works for me - your mileage may differ!

I've started from the bottom of doktor5000's post - Steps 2-6 are done from a root terminal.

1. Download Citrix Receiver 12.1 (and usb support if you need it) from http://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/legacy-client-software/receiver-for-linux-121.html
2. Uninstall Receiver 13.0 if you have it installed:

Code: Select all: urpme ICAClient ctxusb

3. cd to where you downloaded Receiver 12.1

Code: Select all: cd Downloads/

4. Install Receiver

Code: Select all: urpmi ICAClient-12.1.0-0.i386.rpm ctxusb_2.2-1.i386.rpm

At this point you may find that Receiver can't find the certificates you need - Error 61 or Error 4

5. I link the Firefox certs to Receiver:

Code: Select all: ln -s /etc/pki/tls/rootcerts/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

6. Re-hash the certs:

Code: Select all: c_rehash /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts

You may need to get the particular certificate for your Citrix server following this guide: http://tempero.us/2013/02/ubuntucitrixtrust/ - I do to make it work.

I re-start Firefox at this point fo good luck...

I get busy earning a living - via Citrix

I reflect that if I made the effort to write Citrix I'd at least package it properly...

Please feedback if this does or doesn't work for you - I'll update this post until we get a final guide.

The Monkey...

Better would be to just link the rootcerts in the citrix certificate store, you will benefit from rootcert updates.

Step 5 edited from cp to ln -s

Further question.

I'm putting this here then I can hopefully draw it all together into one solution by adding to my post above.

Everything is working fine with Receiver 12.1. Yesterday I came to use a usb stick and found that usb passthrough is not working on my Mageia 4 installation.

Fortunately I 'mirror' my work environment on a Mint 13 laptop that sits in the corner and I was able to use USB passthrough on that. (So no issue on the Citrix server)

The Question: Does anybody have any suggestions about getting USB sticks to mount in my Citrix session - again I had this working in Mageia 3 but am having this trouble in 4.

Running hdxcheck.sh from /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/ doesn't turn up any errors.

Here is the output:

Thanks in advance

Did you install the Citrix package for USB support on Mageia?

I did.

The package version was: ctxusb_2.2-1.i386.rpm

This came from the same download page as version 12.1 of ICA client.

I checked this as the usb section in the output I posted above was empty - this had me thinking too...

Interesting development.

Spending an hour on a Sunday morning looking at this problem I noticed that my Truecrypt protected backup disk appeared in my Citrix session when I attached it.

I popped a Truecrypt file onto the offending memory stick - and upon mounting in in Truecrypt it appeared in my Citrix session.

What I know:

1. It is possible to access usb sticks in a Mageia 4 Citrix session
2. Only Truecrypt files and containers seem to appear in a Citrix session

What I can speculate on:

1. Truecrypt uses sudo - is this a factor in what is happening?
2. opensuse works fine - that is without sudo (same .rpm package used in install)
3. Debian based distos (my Mint 13 laptop) are all Hunky Dory

I'll keep at it.

There seems to be several CITRIX Client forum re installation problems.
Hopefully I post in the right one ....

To me it was not possible at all to install the 64 Citrix 13 client, due to alledgedly missing .so's etc.
BUT they were all i the lib64 directory.

I then tried to enable the 32 bit medias and install the 32 bit Client - this works !

Was suggested already in previous post:
viewtopic.php?p=44963#p44963

Sure, you may consider this a confirmation ...

Update:

I've recently found this guide, it may prove useful if you want to run receiver 13.1:

http://www.linuxplanet.org/blogs/?cat=1997

Regards.

Thanks for sharing.

Although I think the last part (exporting firefox certificates and manually copying them into citrix receiver keystore) can and should be automated. Something like

Code: Select all: ln -s /etc/pki/tls/rootcerts/*pem /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

as root should do the same.
