Apps :: Help installling Citrix Client

hmmmm, installling the citrix client on dsl, that is a cool idea. the linux version runs on thinit but i've never seen it on any other distro.

try going to /usr/lib and going chmod -R 777 ICAclient (check that syntax 'cos i am not sure i remembered it right.
you could also try chown which would be more secure, simply changing the owner to dsl rather than giving anyone access.
i have checked and there is no deb for the client, try searching the net, i am sure there are many other distros that won't run the client either.
unless you want to have a functioning linux desktop AS WELL as the citrix ica client then i recommend thinit, i have never tried setting it up but i have seen it in action and it's pretty versatile and fast.

The reason you don't see it in any distro's is because of thier license agreement.... kindof like Flash

I believe the script itself runs a chown after the files are uncompressed. That's where the I was seeing the weird owner id called "500"

I figured out what was wrong.

The install script was using a couple of command line options on the cpio command that aren't supported in our version of busybox (specifically -H and --no-preserve-owner). Removed these options references and it installed fine.

The script was also having a problem executing a couple of "find" statements. Commented those out with no harm either.

Now I just need to test at work if I can connect to one of our citrix servers and how the performance is.

BTW...thanks cbagger01...you script error redirecting hint helped me find this. I couldn't see what the actual command that was input looked like, but I could see the error code generated.

FYI,

If you want to get the "real" programs instead of the busybox replacements, install the gnu-utils extension.

I do not know if cpio is one of the programs that get re-installed but I suspect that it is the case.

Find is included.
