Citrix Client suddenly failing

dtw · 2004-08-31 14:36:28

I connect to my uni net with a Citrix Client, both on campus via wlan and remotely via dial-up. However, i suddenly seem to be having probs.

When i try to connect in Arch (this is from Firefox with the plugin installed under fluxbox AND in konqueror under kde) i get the connection dialogue box come up and then the main gui screen - which begins as grey - and the windows mouse pointer appears in the gui the freezes and the window crashes and goes black and has to be xkilled.

i updated the citrix client to see if that helped but it seems to have made things worse!

i can still connect in windows and in my old distro fine. anyone have any clue what the issue may be? does it seem like X or network? could i have mistweaked my firewall? I use x.org in Arch and my old distro with the same config so that seems unlikely. it obviously isn;t browser or wm related - i have yet to see if the prob occurs when i connect to the wlan tho. i am trying that later.

connection is regulated by uni and via citrix only - thanks tho

sorry, yet-another-non-Citrix-user ...

... for my uni, i needed for a 2.6.kernel a cisco vpn 4.0 (for the 2.4, the older 3.4 worked great) and it was the hell making them run on a new 2.6. kernel (they have an installer for redhat and suse init scripts and all alternatives had to be made by hand and re-constructing the installer doings) ... so i understand your need

good luck for you

i don't think it is a citrix problem - i think it is something that got updated in arch that citrix doesn't like

Hi!
Just wonder if you are using the latest klient, if don't do upgrade to latest.
I'm using it every day and it does work great.
Must say that I'm using wfcmgr and selecting a connection from there. Example:
/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica -icaroot /usr/lib/ICAClient -nosplash -desc "Outlook 2000"
where "Outlook 2000" is the shared application description from the citrix server.
Regards,
xor

i have tried the latest client with no sucess and i have to connect via an internet gateway

i was thinkg may be it has happened since my last kernel update - i am running 2.4.27 and xorg what is every else using?

spontaneously fixed itself - maybe an issue at the other end? or maybe a prb in packages fixed by subsequent upgardes of other packages? who knows?

as an aside, when using these connections in Linux to use external windows software is there any app or way of having Linux tell the Windows apps that there are local Fat32 or NTFS drives?

cos when i use this app in Windows it automatically detects the local windows drives - presumably from the OS - if this is possible in linux it may solve all my problems!
