I installed Knoppix on my hard drive. I also "installed" the Citrix ICA client according to directions I found. I cannot get an application to open. When I click on an application, I am prompted to save or open. Any suggestions>

What does the file look like if you save it and then view the contents? Does it look something like:
[WFClient]
Version=2
TcpBrowserAddress=192.168.0.11[ApplicationServers]
Outlook=
.....
If so it is an ICA file, you can launch the application with the program wfica (which is probably in /usr/lib/ICAClient. There is also a script there which associates ICA files with the citrix client.After installation were you able to launch the client (wfcmgr) and view the farm and/or application set?

Yes, I have info similar to your example. It is a "launch.asp" file.
When I "open", I associate it with the wfica file but nothing happens.
I can open the wfcmgr file. I set it to TCP/IP and the server to my server IP.
I still get nothing to appear.

It really depends on how your citrix server is set up. Who is administrating it? How did you get the launch.asp file? Through the nfuse web interface? I would stick to using wfcmgr. Things to check in your wfcmgr preferences:
Server Location:
Change the network protocol to TCP/IP + HTTP.
Put the IP of the server in the address list and try using port 80.Firewall:
Try enabling "Use alternate address for firewall connection". You may have to do this if accessing the server over a local network. If so your citrix administrator will have to set it with the altaddr command, eg:
M:\ altaddr /set 192.168.0.11Are there any firewalls in the way between you and the server? You will probably need to have ports 80 and 1494 open (and possibly 1604 too). You can check if you can see the ports open with the command "nmap servername"
When adding a new connection in wfcmgr, make sure that you select the correct encryption level. If enabled on the server it will probably be RC5 (128 bit).
Also make sure that the citrix administrator has granted you the permission to connect to the farm.

I believe it has to do with knoppix and its browsers.
I use a dual-boot machine (Win 98 and knoppix)
I can access Citrix (nfuse) with Win 98. I am behind a Linksys firewall but that should have no bearing.
I followed the installation instructions for the ICA client. It appeared to install correctly. I used the default settings.
When I use Mozilla and click on an application, nothing appears.
When I use Konqueror, I get the save/open dialogue box.
Is there something I need to do with the browser?

I've just tried it myself with the nfuse web interface (I usually use the ICA client manager [wfcmgr] myself) and sure enough I was able to re-create the fault....all I did then when it asked what to open the file with was give it /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica and tell it to always use that program, problem fixed....

I associated the file with wfica.
I see the download dialog box. Still nothing appears.
Is there a setting in Knoppix I am missing?

What happens if you try to launch the file in a terminal window? eg:
$ /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica ~/Outlook.ica
Are you able to use /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr to connect to applications or does that not work either?

I would check the permissions on the published application. Unless you have fully joined the windoze domain and added a machine account it may not work. Try enabling "everyone" in the citrix management console (cmc) for the app you are trying to connect to.
I have never tried pnagent under linux before, just have now though and it seems to work. How about if in the wfcmgr you select view>go to>connection view and add the apps manually.

Open up the cmc (Citrix Management Console)
Select Applications on the left
Right-click on the published application and choose Properties
Select Users then check "Allow Anonymous Connections"
Click OK
You could also specify a user or group by drilling down into the list of users until you find the one you want, highlight it and click on Add.

If you start the manager from a terminal window and then try to connect to one of the published applications, it should hopefully display an error in the terminal explaining what is wrong. you could always enable logging on the citrix server to try and catch any errors from there. Are you able to connect from any other machines, windoze or GNU/Linux? How about on the actual server? Are you going through a firewall? have you checked the permissions on the ICA and RDP connections with the Citrix Connection Configuration app? Is it possible for me to try and connect to diagnose, got an external facing IP?

I installed Knoppix on an IBM Aptiva. I use lilo. The other partition is Win98. I can connectt to Citrix on the Windows side. I cannot connect on the Linux side.
Please e-mail me. I will provide you with the necessary log-in info.

Greetings,
I just googled and found this thread.
I just installed Knoppix 3.3.
I tried the "correct" way - of
downloading, installing ICA,
using Open with application....
and as before with other versions of Linux,
the file is "downloaded", then
nothing opens.Per notes on this thread,
Trying with wfcmgr gets the following.knoppix@eknix:~$ /usr/lib/ICAClient/wfcmgr ~/launch.jsp.ica
/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica: error while loading shared libraries: libXaw.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Some notes -
Citrix Support at work knows that
all computers run Windows.Despite this, I was able to run Nfuse
applications from Sun's Education Center
(i.e., on Solaris).I would be greatful for any guidance,
since I reently broke my last windows
machine, it can't do ICA's anymore....

Download and install libxaw6. You are probably best off using apt-get to install it, failing that this link might help:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/libxaw6You might already have v7....if so I think you want to force the install.
