Citrix Receiver

= Citrix Receiver 11.1 on the N900 =

What you need

 * 1) Citrix Receiver 11.1 for Linux ARM Version, .tar.gz (try this direct link, but it's easily found anyhow.)
 * 2) Extras-devel enabled - this is only needed for dbus-switchboard. The usual disclaimers apply, please read the wiki page.
 * 3) libmotif3 and libxp6 from the Debian ARM repository - this is only required for the Connection Manager, if you don't plan on using it, you can skip these. The client works just as well without them and you'll save some precious space (around 1,2 MB) on your rootfs. Be sure to get the armel packages!

How to install
Put the file you downloaded from the Citrix page and those from Debian somewhere on the Device, e.g. MyDocs (the 32GB on-device storage area). Proceed as follows inside an XTerm (substitute the correct filenames if your versions differ):

when you're asked for a directory, type in

Confirm the next question by entering "y". This way, the installation will reside on the larger /opt partition and not take up precious space on your rootfs.

Say "n" to the other questions, they won't work anyways, and no reason in letting the script change some non-existent (because non-Maemo) places.

After setup has finished you can delete the source directory:

Now start dbus-switchboard, tap on the menu and select "new handler", name it "Icaclient" and enter this as command:

Then create a new xref, type in ".ica" as protocol and select "Icaclient" as handler. Finally, select "save" from the menu to write your changes.

Phase 3: Profit! :)

You should now be able to directly launch ica sessions from within Microb by selecting "open with dbus-switchboard".

To start the connection manager, you can either do so directly via Xterm ("/opt/icaclient/wfcmgr"), or create a Desktop entry.

I have the best experience on XenApp Servers (under Windows Server 2008) in a Fullscreen session, with the on-screen keyboard set to start automatically. This way you have a full 800x480 desktop, and you can use the "properties" key as a sort of right-click substitute. It's a bit clunky but better than nothing :)

Known Issues

 * Sound is not working.
 * There's no way to switch back to Maemo without disconnecting.
 * Citrix Receiver will always report an English Input Layout, so you have to use Windows' Languagebar to change your Input Layout.
 * Fn+Sym does not work, you have to rely on the on-screen keyboard for special characters other than the ones directly accessible by Fn+Key.
