citrix installation breaks apps that run in sandbox

[Joachim Rosenberger]

I am running Ubuntu 22.04. Yesterday I installed citrix (icaclient_23.3.0.32_amd64.deb).

As a side effect of the installation I could not open google-chrome, vscode or the  1password app anymore. 

I know that 1password is an electron app and chrome is running in a chrom sandbox. 

I can start both google-chrome and 1password when running them from the terminal passing the --no-sandbox flag, e.g., 

 

google-chrome --no-sandbox 

 

However I can not start vscode at all. The --no-sandbox flag does not work.

I suspect that the  citrix "app protection" that is mandatory to install breaks these applications., see here

These side effects are pretty unacceptable. Is there a fix?

app protection is not mandatory, but to disable it you would have to uninstall it and reinstall the application, see point 4
