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
- get the client from citrix
- 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)
- 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.

This error “Cannot connect to the Citrix XenApp Server” happen from time to time, this is a message from the XenApp plugin (ICA Client). Today I had this one because we have move some servers and they had to change their IP address. The IT server team told me everything was done I should be able to put this machine back in production, all changes have been done and everything is working well.
BUT, when I enable these servers, this windows appear for all the users who try to launch a publish application :

This message means the Citrix XenApp server cannot be reach with the address return by the datacollector. So i have assume the server team did the change on the network configuration of the servers but didn’t reboot it…
To be fast, I make the choice to just restart the IMA service, it did the trick.

I love my work (Citrix XenApp) and I like to play with my mobile device (HTC Diamond Touch) so when I can play with both of this two things it’s coooool
So today, this is just a short video to show how I connect to my company with my mobile phone, I will open a desktop on a XenApp server and even if the display is only 480*640 this is kinda usefull for common admin task.
I connect on a Citrix XenApp 5 (4.5 on Windows 2003) through a Webinterface 5 with ssl. I have deploy the certificate on my mobile to be able to connect.
