Citrix-client: general knowledge about iconv would be helpful

Andrwe · 2010-03-21 10:18:39

Hi,

Sorry for double posting this, but I think the first place I've posted this problem may be the wrong place.
I'm looking for help getting the "normal" client of citrix running on x86_64.
I'm the maintainer of citrix-PKGBUILD in AUR at the moment.

The problem which occures is that the client tries to convert UTF8 characters to Unicode.
Here are some pictures showing the problem:

Because our citrix-server don't support http-connection I can't use the firefox plugin and therefore I'm trying to get the client working but I don't have an idea anymore.

Here is the latest PKGBUILD for x86_64:

The lib32-packages e.g. lib32-openmotif you can find in my repo:

I'll commit the PKGBUILD for lib32-openmotif later to AUR.
Here is it for you if you don't want to use the package in my repo:

lib32-openmotif is now available through my repository and AUR.

I couldn't solve the iconf problem until now.
Has noone any clue to it?

fettouhi · 2010-04-21 08:41:22

I've tried using this my work place insists on using the webplugin and since it won't work under 64 bit I can't run it .

Schuster · 2010-04-29 08:17:31

I haven't solved the problem, wfica segfaults for me, but maybe you can use some debug output...

What seems strange to me is that although wfica is 32bit, it's using 64bit-stuff like /usr/lib/gconv/UNICODE.so, although /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gconv/UNICODE.so would be available.

Schuster · 2010-04-29 10:20:05

Okay, I was right. (I love it when this happens )

This trick made the ICA-Client working for me:

# cd /usr/lib
# mv gconv gconv64
# ln -s /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gconv

This will of course most likely break a lot of other stuff, but I think it shows that the main problem is that the 64bit-gconv-module is loaded.

Schuster · 2010-04-29 11:00:30

Looks like a bug in lib32-glibc.

I found a somewhat better workaround (that shouldn't break the rest of the system):

export GCONV_PATH=/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gconv/
{start wfica or other 32bit-stuff that needs iconv()}

I guess you could create a wrapper for wfica that sets GCONV_PATH before calling wfica, but fixing lib32-glibc is the right thing to do, imho.

Andrwe · 2010-04-29 11:09:38

Yeah, found this solution too.
Thank you very much Schuster.
I've already created a wrapper because citrix has to be started using "setarch i686".

I'm now creating the PKGBUILD for bin32-citrix will be ready in some minutes.

bin32-citrix-client is now available in AUR and my repository.

Schuster · 2010-04-29 12:05:26

Thanks!

3 minor issues:
* namcap reports a few problems
* Wrong path in the message

After creating this directory you have to copy the files All_Regions.ini, Trusted_Region.ini, Unknown_Region.ini, canonicalization.ini, regions.ini from /usr/lib/ICAClient/config/ to $HOME/.ICAClient/
        cp /usr/lib/ICAClient/config/{All_Regions.ini,Trusted_Region.ini,Unknown_Region.ini,canonicalization.ini,regions.ini} $HOME/.ICAClient/

(should be /opt/lib32/usr/lib/ICAClient/config/ I guess )
* What about providing /usr/bin/wfica and /usr/bin/wfcmgr as wrappers?

fettouhi · 2010-04-29 12:24:47

Does the firefox plugin work now?

I didn't know that such a program exists. Very nice.
The dependecies error are wrong and the symlinks are working.

fixed

Done.

@fettouhi
Unfortunately I can't test the firefox-plugin because the server I can use doesn't support it.
But try and report back. Maybe I'm able to modify the PKGBUILD so it would work.

/usr/bin/wfica is 0644 instead of 0755

Now it has 0755.

Nope it doesn't work and I can't get client itself to work either. My IT department just gave me the address to the server

https://server.com/

but it won't connect. Maybe I'm just configuring the client wrong...

Schuster · 2010-04-30 08:23:15

fettouhi, try manually installing a 32bit Firefox from mozilla.com, i.e. http://www.mozilla.com/products/downloa … lang=en-US

unpack, then start that Firefox with

cd /directory/where/you/unpacked/it/
ICAROOT=/opt/lib32/usr/lib/ICAClient GCONV_PATH=/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gconv/ ./firefox

Arch Linux
