Has anybody been able to install the icaclient on Ubuntu/Kubuntu x64 successfully? Please respond with steps.

Greatly appreciated.

  • There is an excellent guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo – Cornelius Apr 23 '14 at 20:01
  • Thank you and I did use that guide however it didn't work for me. I was able to install icaclient 12.01 but no browser was able to detect the client. – nymg Apr 24 '14 at 20:22

Just download the *.deb file from here. Here is how to install. Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

apt-get install lib32z1 lib32asound2

to Once that is done, navigate where you've downloaded the file, most likely the Downloads folder, and run the command below:

dpkg -i icaclient_13.0.0.256735_amd64.deb

You can download lib32asound2 from here. Once downloaded, you can install using sudo dpkg -i ib32asound2_1.0.25-4ubuntu4_amd64.deb, or use Gdebi,sudo apt-get install gdebi`

  • Thanks for your respond but 'lib32asound2' doesn't exist. Please see below for more information. ~$ sudo apt-get install lib32asoud2 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package lib32asoud2 – nymg Apr 24 '14 at 20:19
  • @nymg what about http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/a/alsa-lib/lib32asound2_1.0.25-4ubuntu3_amd64.deb – Cornelius Apr 24 '14 at 20:25
  • look at e added info in my answer. – Mitch Apr 24 '14 at 20:27
  • @Cornelius - The deb package which you provide depends libasound2. The libasound2 can be installed in Trusty by installing liboss4-salsa-asound2 via aptitude/apt-get but it will apply the following changes. I am sort of afraid of applying it. – nymg Apr 24 '14 at 20:40
  • @nymg yes these are old unupdated packages... – Cornelius Apr 24 '14 at 20:41
  • @Mitch - I tried the package under you link and that also requires libasound2. – nymg Apr 24 '14 at 20:50
  • So I am assuming the installation of icaclient on 14.04 is not possible unless some legacy packages replaces the current ones. Also it is not clear that what are the side affects of using the legacy packages on 14.04. – nymg Apr 24 '14 at 20:53
  • Download from [here](http://pkgs.org/download/libasound2). – Mitch Apr 24 '14 at 20:53
  • @Mitch - Thanks for the link, however I hope I can find a way to install the icaclietn without installing any legacy packages or at least not as this many. – nymg Apr 24 '14 at 21:35

I got it installed using these commands:

sudo sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=ia32-libs,lib32asound2 icaclient_13.0.0.256735_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

The issue is that lib32asound2 is replaced by libasound2:i386 and ia32-libs is split up in several libfoo:i386 packages (which will be installed automatically). Telling dpkg to ignore these two packages was successful for me.

just follow the steps in Ubuntu Help site.

1- You basically need to download the package from here:

https://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux/receiver-for-linux-130.html

2- Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install libmotif4:i386 nspluginwrapper lib32z1 libc6-i386 libxp6:i386 libxpm4:i386 libasound2:i386

3- Make some changes to the package

cd ~/Downloads
mkdir ica_temp
dpkg-deb -x icaclient_13.0.0.256735_amd64.deb ica_temp
dpkg-deb --control icaclient_13.0.0.256735_amd64.deb ica_temp/DEBIAN

Edit the control file

sudo gedit ica_temp/DEBIAN/control

Change the line that starts with depends to:

Depends: libc6-i386 (>= 2.7-1), lib32z1, nspluginwrapper

Edit the post inst script

sudo gedit ica_temp/DEBIAN/postinst

Change line that says "echo $Arch|grep "i[0-9]86" >/dev/null" to

echo $Arch|grep -E "i[0-9]86|x86_64" >/dev/null

Repackage this modified version: 

dpkg -b ica_temp icaclient-modified.deb

4- Install modified package

Double click the icaclient-modified.deb or use dpkg -i

5- Copy certificates

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

6- Configure remote drive access

/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/configmgr &

Done.

I did not come up with this solution. It is what is in Ubuntu Help site and it worked for me. My only problem is I can not move around Citrix Windows...
