If you are interested in running ICA client on Linux, I've created two short videos showing the step by step instructions. Unlike windows ICA client, installing Linux version of ICA client requires more steps although it is relatively straight forward after you watch the video I hope. I used Ubuntu Linux as an example. Other Linux distributions may work slightly differently.

In some languages, "Desktop" folder comes translated to a folder with more than one word. (in my case "Area de Trabalho")
and this takes the script setupwfc to fail, as it couldn't handle the 'space' between words.
In this case you should extract the tarball to other folder, (ie: /tmp/icainstall) and use it instead of "Desktop" on next steps and all works fine!
Yang, thanks for these helpful videos!

As I indicated in my other blog posts I am trying to add ICA client to Ubuntu repository so that it is even easier to enjoy the benefits of Citrix technology. I am happy to report that I am making progress. Your comments help me justify such efforts. Please let me know if you are using ICA on linux. Even a simple anonymous comment helps!

With that in place, the nightly system package update would ensure that we always had the latest version, without having to check citrix.com periodically.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am not familiar with Fedora 10 yet and wouldn't want to give you incorrect information. However I did a search on Citrix support forum and found some discussions that may be helpful to you.
Here are some examples

http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=99764&tstart=0
This is one of the forums you may want to use for this question.
I would suggest that you post your question on relevant forums such as Citrix support forum, Fedora forum etc if you still can't find the answer you are looking for.
If you do find the answer, could you share your information here? A link will do.
Good luck

With that said, when opening the client I receive the following:
"You have not chosen to trust "Go Daddy Secure Certification Authority", the issuer of the Server's security certificate (SSL error 61)."
I've put hours in trying to follow some "text" resolutions but get stuck or the verbiage just did not give a novice like me the hand holding I need like your video did.
Any ideas or videos you've done or know of would be a LIFE saver.
Thanks again,
Wade

Other users have reported the certificate trust issue. See the comments to my earlier blog
http://community.citrix.com/blogs/citrite/ruiguoy/2008/05/30/List+ICA+client+in+Ubuntu+Application+Repository
I've seen some useful articles explaining how to solve this issue. But I haven't seen a video yet. Anyone knows of an existing video?
If not, I may look into creating one when I get a chance.

"the world" with these things free of charge. I guess there are still some good Samaritans
out there after all.
Anyway, if the procedure is anywhere close to what you put together in the video..... well,
let's just say "I'm gana need the video"
In my attemts to solve the problem after my excitement of correctly implementing your steps
on the install, I found [but without any success] the following from another good neighbor:

that lead me to: (within the above thread)

In closing, I'm going to save this page to my favorites, check in for update, directions and/or
hopefully another FANTASTIC video but certainly at you leisure.
God bless you and thanks again Ray for getting me this far.

I don't have the environment to test it out myself. But you may want to try this certificate from GoDaddy.

Ray - you need an award or something! Anyway - I got pretty far until: ...Ray - you need an award or something!
Anyway - I got pretty far until:
1) You mentioned the downloaded of the root certificate from the server administrator and saved it on the desk top. (not sure what that is or how to do it)
2) Then Copy the certificate to the certificate store location. (not clear of how to do this either)
3) If the certificate has .crt extension, rename it to .crt (it's the same)
In any case I tried a few things but have never had the "Citrix App Service Center" folder under Applications show up.
Then when you opened the Citrix Presentation Server Client it looks like you got an immediate "Program Neighborhood Agent Logon" pop up - which I do not get. In fact the whole folder is empty leading me to believe I or my corporate office needs to implement something.
I've been speaking with my administrator. He's tried to help be we're getting nowhere. Unfortunately everyone in our company is and has only used XP and Vista over the years with our Citirx. I'm the first to inquire of the Linux set up so I guess this will be a challenge for us.
Many thanks again to you Ray. I thought the hardest part would have been installing the client and that turned out to be the easiest. Probably because your video did not rely on other factors which I believe the certificate issue does.
If there's anything else you can thank of I'm all ears but if not, you've done PLENTY and am still extremely greatly that people like you still exist in the world. I wish you continued success!

"3) If the certificate has .crt extension, rename it to .crt (it's the same)"
It's a typo I had in my video note. In the video, the certificate I downloaded has .cer extension and I changed it to .crt extension.
I've corrected the typo. Thanks for pointing it out!
In my video, I had put in the service URL in the form of HTTPS://..... That's why you saw the logon screen and error message.
I would suggest the following:
If possible, first try getting the client to work with a XenApp server that doesn't require SSL. i.e. point to a HTTP://... url. Please see the how to use ICA client video for more details.
Post your questions in the forum http://forums.citrix.com/forum.jspa?forumID=16, it may be a better way to get help. And I think you can get emails when someone replies your questions there.
Good luck

Thanks both of you for your efforts. I encountered the same problem and solved it succeessfully according to Ray's instruction.
I think Ray's video missed some step: Where is the .crt file from?
Here is my solution: I visit the web site
https://certs.godaddy.com/Repository.go
Then you can find following parts:
New Go Daddy Certificate Chain
Then you can follow the copy the gd-class2-root.crt to the target directory.

You just type:

You can find the file downloaded in the directory.
Then copy it to the target directory.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Users may use different certificate authority. And I don't have a godaddy server certificate to test with. That's why I didn't include the steps for how to download certificates in my video. Thanks for your help filling the gap.
I linked the other blog with the information you provided.
