Citrix receiver not working launch.ica code#

Xdg-mime default wfica.We have a group of users who log into a system where they need to first login with their username/password, then receive a text with a code the enter, then they are brought to a portal where there is a link to a system called 'Epic'. I will rehash the change so others don't have to scroll back and forth through the responses: As stated above I needed to use the opt directory though.

Citrix receiver not working launch.ica 64 Bit#

This works for me on 12.10 64 bit perfectly. There I can change the plugin.Īfter you change it to the 'Native Plugin', the server will send the *.ica file to Chrome.

When I logon to citrix, I can go to 'Preferences' -> 'Connection Preferences'.

Citrix receiver not working launch.ica download#

They helped me connect to my work Citrix system using Chrome on my Ubuntu 11.10.įor all those people who are reporting that Chrome does not download the *.ica file or is showing 'Missing Plugin' -> Please ensure that your connection preferences say that your plugin is the 'Native Plugin' instead of 'Client for Java'. I also can't tell you if this was something unique to my Ubuntu configuration and/or something I may have inadvertently caused from all my messing around with Citrix since I installed 10.10.

I too quickly deleted the default association, it was ICA something-or-other, so unfortunately I can't now tell you what Ubuntu decided should be the default file association. I changed the file association to 'Citrix ICA Client Engine (Win32)' and it worked. I right clicked on the file and opened properties and went to the 'open with' tab. I picked 'show in folder' in the drop down menu and found the launch.ica file in the download directory. However, nothing happened when I tried to open it. I followed the instructions described and, indeed, launch.ica came up in the box at the bottom with the drop down arrow as described. I already had certificates transferred into ICA client directory to make Firefox work. I already had the ICA client installed previously from the tar file and was already using it on Firefox. I had Open Motif libmotif3 installed previously (did not confirm if this is essential, as stated, since I didn't try Chrome before the library was already installed). This is a simple thing but maybe this will help somebody. I hope this will make a big difference, as I find chrome a much better performing browser these days. Was really tough finding this info via the web. If you click on the little arrow next to this file, and choose 'Always open files of this type', then choose 'Open', it should work. At this point, if you click on a browser link that should launch an application using Citrix, it will download a file called something like 'launch.ica'. Xdg-mime default sktop application/x-icaĦ.

Citrix receiver not working launch.ica install#

Xdg-mime install -novendor /usr/share/mime/packages/ica.xml

Then use your favourite text editor to edit /etc/gnome/defaults.listĥ. sudo update-desktop-database & sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mimeĤ. Create new file /usr/share/mime/packages/ica.xmlģ. Create new file /usr/share/applications/sktopĢ. Gnome-open opens files and urls with the default applications in:Ĭreating MIME types for Citrix ICA Clientġ. xdg-open comes from xdg-utils, which is distributed by freedesktop. It is necessary to setup mime correctly in order for the launch.ica file to be opened with the correct application.Ĭhrome uses xdg-open which is a shell script (/usr/bin/xdg-open) which in turn uses gnome-open. You disable the plugin (which Chrome had presumably installed automatically because I had it on my system for use with Firefox) by entering about:plugins in the address bar in Chrome, and then scroll down to the Citrix plugin and there should be an option to disable it. deb version, and then use sudo dpkg -i to install it. Most of the info came from this forumīut I thought I'd paste / distil / add my comments.ĮSSENTIALLY: the trick is that you need to have installed Citrix ICA client (known as XenApp) from Citrix's website, but not use the browser plugin in the way that (say) Firefox does. Lots of heartache to find this, but quite simple in the end.
