Good Morning.
New User, New to Linux (well, I did try it several years ago, but it was unusable for my needs (work), so it didn’t last long).
I would really appreciate if someone can walk me through installing Citrix Workspace. This is a must for me as it is required for work. I tried installing it yesterday, going through the steps as documented on Citrix’s website, but it didn’t work. I even tried installing Ubuntu, and it still didn’t work.
Thank you.
Not a Citrix user here but I found the following article in the ArchWiki you might want to have a look at:
Welcome to the community @powerincarnate and good luck!
thank you for the wonderful welcome.
I tried the archwiki all of yesterday (and this morning for other installs). It is likely I’m doing something wrong regarding citrix as a new user.
Sadly, I had to revert back to Ubuntu and seek some answers there.
Ultimately the issue is with Citrix, who haven’t updated their Citrix software dependencies, which requires this dependency ‘libidn11’, but ubuntu, and probably endevouros ships with libidn12 causing the error. There were multiple efforts on various forums trying to get a workaround, but ultimately this worked.
It did work, I was able to log into both of the workspaces that is required for my job.
It will be Ubuntu for now, but I do like the EndevourOS project and wish it the best.
There is actually only libidn11 in the Arch repos and not libidn12:
community/libidn11 1.33-2
Implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications
So there might have been some other issues at play here for you not getting it to work on EnOS.
What went wrong when you tried it on EnOS? Any specific error message?
Looking at the AUR page for icaclient there is some issue mentioned in the latest comments. Was yours as well the same? If so, perhaps you could keep an eye on the said page to see if some solution to it will eventually be found.
New EndeavorOS convert.
Why? For the last 12 years I have used Debian because I could use citrix to get into cerner. FInally I resorted to using a windows VM from within Debian, it was a mess. Then I decided to try Arch, Fedora, Manjaro. I have hundreds of hours tied up in trying to use Citrix to get to Cerner for work.
Then, I Installed Endeavor OS, and here is a button: go to the AUR. Boom. There is citrix. it took me about a minute and a half and Citrix was installed by typing: yay -S icaclient into the terminal. I am going to wipe my Fedora NVME now and put on Endeavor. And my last tie to Windows is now cut. THANK YOU!
Enjoy the purple ride
