If you choose the easy way with the rpm file, it wont work. You have to change few things before being able to launch any Citrix XenApp application

1. get the client from citrix
2. get openmotif from http://www.motifzone.net/filebrowser/openmotif/2.3/2.3.1 (at least version 2.3.1, there is a package for fedora 9 but it installs fine in 12)
3. disable the cjkuni fonts (why?)

# cd cd /usr/share/fonts/
# mv cjkuni/fonts.dir cjkuni/fonts.dir.disabled
# mv cjkuni/fonts.scale cjkuni/fonts.scale.disabled

Now the ctirix client starts as it should.

So I got my new computer, a Mac, yes I step in, first because i’m curious and second because I need a Mac environment to develop some Iphone applications and I was tired to fight to install Snow Leopard on regular computer. I gave my Asus Eeepc 1000HE to my mum so I needed to buy a new computer.

I choose a MacBook Unibody, the new one with 2gb of ram, as soon as I got it I installed Windows 7 with bootcamp on it and I wanted to make some new VM to work but 2gb memory was clearly not enought.

So I bought 2×2gb OCZ (OCZ SO-DIMM DDR3 2 x 2 Go PC8500) and open my MacBook to change that :

There are 8 screws to open this computer :

Citrix released earlier this week a new Citrix Receiver version (1.1) and this one look like finished.  You can check bellow screenshots of this new UI

There is some missing point to this tool, most of company made the choice to deploy the PNAgent and by experience many users are now use to launch their XenApp application through the start menu but also right clicking the PNAgent icon on the task bar. This is not possible any more, I really think this feature should be back to allow a massive deployment.

This is a simple “how to” install Apple Mac OS Snow Leopard on a netbook Asus EEEPc 1000HE

What you need:

1. EEEPC 1000HE
2. A working Mac with SnowLeopard installed
3. An external harddrive or USB key
4. A Snow Leopard install DVD : only 29$ http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC223?mco=MTAyNTQwMjU
