How do I install Citrix receiver?

There is only an i386 build of citrix receiver and it needs the 32 bit libmotif4 library. It fails the dependency when you only have the 64 bit present. Though, as you said maybe I'm doing something wrong.

How to install Citrix receiver on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04

  1. Go to the Citrix receiver for Linux download page and download the Debian full package. The filename will look like this: icaclient_13.3.0.344519_amd64.deb .
  2. Open and install the package using the Software Center or gdebi .

How to add Google Chrome support

You can open Citrix receiver apps by clicking a link in your browser. You don't need an extension for that.

Just click on the app shortcut in Google Chrome and download the .ica file. When it is downloaded, click the arrow next to the filename in the bottom bar of Chrome and choose "always open files of this type".

That's it! Next time you click on a Citrix app, it will be started automatically.

How to add firefox support

In Firefox, go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins, and make sure the "Citrix Receiver for Linux" plugin is set to "Always Activate".

How to solve SSL error 61

This error happens because Citrix receiver doesn't trust enough certificates. You fix this by adding all the certificates Firefox trusts to Citrix. Just open a terminal and execute the following command.

sudo ln -s /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts

The official documentation works, though I'm disappointed I can't use the .deb Citrix provides. I do realize that's not an Ubuntu issue, however. I hope Citrix gets their 64 bit release out.

Commented Feb 5, 2017 at 16:43 I guess this solution is obsolete based on this link: citrix.com/blogs/2017/03/15/… Commented Jul 5, 2017 at 3:10

for 17.10 use these instructions: askubuntu.com/questions/302188/… to add the right certificate. Obviously they have provided a .deb file for some time now.

They now provide a 64-bit version of the .deb package. Unfortunately, the 64-bit package checks if the system is a 32-bit system. Obviously, the check fails.

I've modified the package to properly check for 64-bit system (and 32-bit actually for no reason really).

It was literally a one character change to postinst . Hope this helps somebody.

Oh, please note that you will still need to copy or link to your certs directory.

The detailed guide on install and usage of Citrix Workspace app in Linux I have explained in my blog below which Tested in 20.04 LTS, 20.10, Fedora 32, Fedora 33

However, here is a summary of the steps.

Install Citrix Workspace App for Fedora, Red Hat, and Other .rpm based distributions

Download the below .rpm package for 64-bit systems. Go to the below link. Click on RPM Packages, then Red Hat Full Package (self-service support). Then click on Download file under “Citrix Workspace app for Linux (x86_64)”

Open the .rpm package via Software or any package manager for installation. All the dependencies should already be present in your current system.

Install Citrix Workspace App for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Other Debian based distributions

Download the below .deb package for 64-bit systems. Go to the below link. Click on Debian Packages, then Full Package (self service support). Then click on Download file under “Citrix Workspace app for Linux (x86_64)”

Open the .deb package via Software or any package manager for installation. All the dependencies should already be present in your current system.

After installation, you can visit your Citrix VM page and log in via browser. The .ICA file association would be taken care of by the installer.
