Use Citrix Receiver (ICA client) on Ubuntu 18.04

  • 772

I used to use Citrix receiver on Ubuntu 16.04 for a while Switching to 18.04, I want to continue using Citrix.

I downloaded and installed citrix receiver 13.8 following this official guide without any errors: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/receiver/linux/current-release/install.html

When I triy to vonnect using a provided connection file (.ica), I receive the following error message in a window:

Verbindung mit '0.0.0.2 - Desktop EMEA' kann nicht hergestellt werden. Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden.

English: File or directory not found

I tried to debug by setting PrintLogThreshold=6 in the connection file. Unfortunately o additional information about the error is logged.

Using the same connection on the old Ubuntu 16.04 installation works as usual at the same time.

How can I debug? Why is the IP-address all-zero?

networking citrix 18.04

  1. Running the below commands after installing the Citrix Receiver Full worked for me

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

sudo c_rehash /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

    Looks like this is a known issue in older versions which comes back in 13.9. So nothing Ubuntu related. Only seams so because Citrix Receiver 13.9 and Ubuntu 18.4 was released in the same period of time.

    @Rinzwind, got this insight from your link here: https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/323985-cannot-connect-to-0002-published-app-name-most-distros/#comment-2004606

    So to resolve install Citrix Receiver 13.8

  3. I had this problem after upgrading to 18.04 from 17.04. Firefox gave the same error message. I found a work-around: Start Citrix Receiver directly from the Launcher (Supe+A). Enter a copy from the url you can still find on the Firefox page.

    Btw: Still using citrix Receiver 13.5

  4. The best answer is given here:

    https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/402745-citrix-workspace-app-1903-install-fails-on-ubuntu-1904/

    Altough it refers to an issue on Ubuntu 19.04 it also applies to 18.04 this way like I found out, but the difference is that these packages are in the standard distribution available and just need to be installed from there:

    It says (and for sure you have to adjust the versions of the packages accordingly)

    "You can manually install the dependencies and then Citrix:

    1. Download the 3 required dependencies from Launchpad (not providing direct links so you can check it's legit):

    a. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/libicu60/60.2-3ubuntu3 (libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb (7.7 MiB))

    b. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/amd64/libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0/2.4.11-3ubuntu3

    (libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb (1.8 MiB))

    c. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/cosmic/amd64/libwebkitgtk-1.0-0/2.4.11-3ubuntu3

    (libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb (7.7 MiB))

    1. Install the files in that order in the terminal

    (assuming the files are in the Downloads folder)

    cd ~/Downloads sudo dpkg -i libicu60_60.2-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i libwebkitgtk-1.0-0_2.4.11-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i icaclient_19.3.0.5_amd64.deb

    This correctly installs Citrix Workspace. If you then get connection errors when trying to set it up, also implement step 3.

    1. Fix the certificate error.

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

    That's all."
