![]() I can admit I have been running 32-bit Ubuntu on a 64-bit PC for years, at work, specifically because Citrix worked better that way (even the old Citrix Reciever 12 had this issue, even if the Self Service looked different then). Depending on what computer you have and what you do with it this may be a quite ok idea, or a very poor idea. If you are on Debian or a Debian-derived distribution (like Crunchbang) I guess you should go with the deb-packages.Ĭonsider installing 32-bit Ubuntu on your 64-bit PC. Please comment below if you experience something else. I believe what I have written applies not only to Xubuntu, but also Lubuntu, Kubuntu (may require more gtk-installation as it is QT based) and standard Ubuntu, and more. So, nothing fun with 64-bit until Citrix actually compiles a real 64-bit binary with no 32-bit dependencies. It is just the dependencies that are configured against the 32-bit compability libraries in Debian (instead of the standard 64-bit libraries). Well, first there is no generic 64-bit package, so I would end up resolving the dependency problems with the deb-package.Īlso, the 64-bit deb-package actually contains 32-bit binaries. So, I prefer the generic tar.gz-installation (which also works fine without sudo/being root). ![]() In the future, this can leave you with conflicts and confustion. But the dependencies are wrong for Ubuntu, and you will need to “force” installation of the deb-packages. The purpose of deb-packages is to automatically resolve all dependencies. I believe they are built for Debian, but this must be confirmed. The deb-packages are obviously not built for Ubuntu 13.10. My #1 priority is to get a working solution at all. There are unresolved dependency issues with the Self Service program and my solution above. The Web-browser way is easier to make work. This Self Service application is new to Citrix v13, and replaced something else in v12. This method can enable “desktop integration” (your Citrix Applications are available via your normal Start Menu or whatever you call it). The second way is to launch the Citrix Receiver Self Service application, give the address of the citrix servers and then authenticate. Now, in the web browser, I see all my applications as icons, and as I click the applications they start in separate windows via Citrix Receiver. I open my web browser, enter the URL of the portal and log in. The first way is via a web based Citrix Portal. I have two ways to access my Citrix Applications. This way, you can run the applications on a computer without the need to install those application on the computer itself. What is Citrix Receiver and how do I use itĬitrix is a technology that allows an organization (your employer) to package applications (typically Windows applications) and make them available over the intranet or the internet. If you are on 32-bit Ubuntu, you should also be able to use the GUI Self Service application (I have not figured out how to fix the webkit dependencies for 64-bit ubuntu).įeel free to read on for more comments and details. You should now be able to use your Citrix applications in a productive way from your Ubuntu computer! Your browser should suggest you open it with wfica.sh (located in ~/ICAClient/linuxx86). ![]() Now, (re)start your browser, log in to your Citrix Portal, open an application. $ sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 ![]() If, on the other hand, you are on 32-bit Ubuntu, you can instead install these packages: Now, if you are on 64-bit Ubuntu there are some 32-bit dependencies to take care of: (nasty habit of not including a folder in the tar file:) Pick the generic tar.gz-version under 32-bit (yes, do this for 64-bit Ubuntu). Go to Citrix Receiver for Linux Download Page. In this post I will explain how I installed Citrix Receiver (version 13) on Ubuntu 13.10 (Xubuntu 圆4 and Lubuntu x86 – but keep reading for other Ubuntu variants too). ![]()
