- I have used the following info (see next) for Ubuntu 32bit (even if it was for Ubuntu 11.1, it also worked for Ubuntu 12.04)

Install Citrix Receiver (cont.) Citrix ICA Client 12.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit

Download and install the 32-bit version of libmotif 3 and create a symlink:

wget -c http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/o/openmotif/libmotif3_2.2.3-4_i386.deb dpkg -i libmotif*i386.deb ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.4Download the Citrix Receiver 12.1 .deb files for 'Receiver for Linux 12.1' and the 'USB Support Package' from:

http://www.citrix.com/English/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=2323812&productId=1689163

Install the .deb files with the Ubuntu Software Manager.

Install or update the Adobe Flash Player plugin and update cURL for HDX Flash redirection.

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer sudo apt-get install curlRun hdxcheck.sh, which was installed with the Citrix Receiver:

/opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/hdxcheck.sh

Look back through the messages displayed to check that it found libjpeg.so, as it might fail to do so despite it being installed. If it failed to find it then you can edit /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/hdxcheck.sh and change

Lib=find *libjpeg.so*

to

Lib=find / -name *libjpeg.so*

Install Citrix Receiver (cont.)

Configuring Firefox

Attempt to access your Citrix site. If Firefox prompts you to open a .ica file, choose to open it with /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh, and tell Firefox to remember that choice.

You might see the following error when accessing remote sessions:

Citrix Receiver SSL error Contact your help desk with the following information: You have not chosen to trust"/C=US/ST=/L=/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority/CN=", the issuer of the server's security certificate ((SSL error 61). If you see the above error, make Firefox's certificates accessible to Citrix using the following:

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

Manual Installation of the Firefox/Mozilla Plugins

If the automatic download and installation of the plugins for Firefox in Ubuntu fails, you can follow the next description to install them.

You can download the F5 plugin from the MHMC Website Help link

(see the next images). However, you’ll need also the “f5 sam inspection host plugin” – both are available here (please

include a link to the compressed files: f5sam.tar.gz and sslvpn.tar.gz)

“extensions” directory 2. cd /home/username/desktop (or wherever you downloaded the f5sam.tar.gz and sslvpn.tgz files)

Then:

tar -xzvf f5sam.tar.gz -C ~/.mozilla/firefox/zzzzz.default/extensions

And then:

tar -xzvf SSLVpn.tgz -C ~/.mozilla/firefox/zzzzzz.default/extensions

2a. Make the “extensions” directory if it doesn't already exists:

mkdir -p /home/.mozilla/firefox/zzzzzzzzz.default/extensions

(N.B.: please replace “zzzzzzzz.default” directory with the one you’ve found in step 1),

then untar as above

3. Don’t forget to put also the “f5 sam” folder in “extensions” (see below).

N.B.: in Ubuntu gnome: you can extract the files by right click-ing on the folder and

choosing form the drop-down menu : “extract” option.
