Citrix Receiver for Linux is software that lets you access enterprise data, applications, and desktops from any Linux workstation. Although you should be able to install Citrix Receiver on any distribution of Linux, this tutorial is designed and tested for Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit. If you want to install Citrix Receiver for openSUSE, check out this tutorial.

To download Citrix Receiver, go to the download page and download the .deb file for x86 systems:

http://www.citrix.com/site/ss/downloads/details.asp?downloadId=2316611&productId=1689163

To install Citrix Receiver, dependencies, and make Firefox's certificates available to Citrix, run these commands (this assumes you downloaded the .deb package into the Download folder):

sudo apt-get install libmotif4 ffmpeg
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/icaclient_12.0.0_i386.deb
sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts

Adding local storage to XenServer

One thing that I did like better on ESX vs XenServer was the fact with ESX you could easily upload files to the local storage. By default within XenServer they make you use a shared storage to access files such as ISO images. So what can you do if you want to access ISO images from a local storage rather than a SAN, NAS, or other network device?

 

First thing you want to make sure you have enough space on your local drive. Then create a folder:

  • mkdir -p /var/opt/xen/iso

Then you simply create a new storage repository:

  • xe sr-create name-label="Local ISO Images" device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/iso device-config:legacy_mode=true type=iso content-type=iso

Thats it! You should now have a storage listed in XenCenter named “Local ISO Images”. You can now upload your image files and use them as you would any other storage repository.
