Receiver 13.9.1 for Linux
Release Date: Mar 23, 2018
Browser content redirection
Redirects the contents of a web browser to a client device and creates a corresponding browser embedded within Citrix Receiver. This feature offloads network usage, page processing, and graphics rendering to the endpoint. Doing so improves the user experience when browsing demanding webpages, especially webpages that incorporate HTML5 or Flash video. Browser content redirection is supported only on the x86 and x64 platforms.
For more information, see Browse content redirection and Browser content redirection policy settings in XenApp and XenDesktop documentation.
The retail build of standard Citrix Receiver for Linux can now generate and send logs through syslog. This feature allows the handling of messages to be controlled based on their level and origin. Retail logging support is being introduced for the Connection Sequence (WD, PD, TD, Proxy) and Printing components. This helps users troubleshoot, and — in cases of complicated issues — facilitate the support team’s job by using the detailed logs available. The log output is similar to the current debugging mode.
The logging parameters, log level, log file, log method (sequence, multi-sequential, cycle), and the module to be logged can be configured using configuration files. For information about enabling retail logging, see Enabling retail logging.
Support for Citrix Ready workspace hub
Citrix Ready workspace hub provides a secure connection to authorized apps and data. With this release, Citrix Receiver for Linux enhances the implementation for workspace hub plug-in, which enables support for the Citrix HDX RealTime Optimization Pack and dual monitors connected to a workspace hub.
This dot release includes the gstreamer1 files.

Install using a Debian package
When installing Citrix Workspace app from Debian package on Ubuntu, open the packages in the Ubuntu Software Center.
In the following instructions, replace packagename with the name of the package that you are trying to install.
This procedure uses a command line and the native package manager for Ubuntu, Debian, or Mint. You can also install the package by double-clicking the downloaded .deb package in a file browser. This typically starts a package manager that downloads any missing required software. If no package manager is available, Citrix recommends you to use the gdebi, a command-line tool.
You must install the icaclient package or the icaclientWeb package.
To install the package using the command line:
- Log on as a privileged (root) user.
- Open a terminal window.
Run the installation for the following three packages by typing gdebi packagename.deb . For example:
- gdebi icaclient\_19.0.6.6\_amd64.deb
- gdebi icaclientWeb\_19.0.6.6\_i386.deb
- gdebi ctxusb\_2.7.6\_amd64.deb
To use dpkg in the above examples, replace gdebi with dpkg -i .
If you are using dpkg , install any missing dependencies by typing sudo apt-get -f install. .
- The ctxusb package is optional to support the generic USB redirection feature.
- Starting with Version 2101, an interactive prompt appears asking you to install app protection.
Installing the app protection component on Debian packages

Install using an RPM package
If you are installing Citrix Workspace app from the RPM package on SUSE, use the YaST or Zypper utility. The RPM utility installs the .rpm package. An error occurs if the required dependencies are missing.
To set up the EPEL repository on Red Hat
Download the appropriate source RPM package from the Fedora/Red Hat page.
For example, on Red Hat Enterprise 7.x, you can install the EPEL repository by using following command:
RPM Package Manager does not install any missing required software. To download and install the software, we recommend using zypper install at a command line on OpenSUSE or yum localinstall on Fedora/Red Hat.
To install from the RPM package
You must install the icaclient package or the icaclientWeb package.
- Set up the EPEL repository.
- Log on as a privileged (root) user.
Run the installation for the following three packages by typing zypper in
- ctxusb is an optional package. Install the package to support Generic USB Redirection.
- ctxappprotection is an optional package. Install the package only if you want to install the app protection component.
Open a terminal window.
For SUSE installations:
zypper in ICAClient-suse-19.12.0.19-0.x86_64.rpm
zypper in ICAClient-suse-19.12.0.19-0.i386.rpm
For Red Hat installations:
yum localinstall ICAClient-rhel-19.12.0.19-0.i386.rpm
yum localinstall ICAClientWeb-rhel-19.12.0.19-0.i386.rpm
To install a missing package
On a Red Hat based distribution (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, and so on), if the following error message appears:
add an EPEL repository (details can be found at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/).
Tarball packages
Install one of the following packages based on your OS architecture.
Package name | Contents |
---|---|
Tarballs (Script install for any distribution) | |
linuxx64-20.06.0.15.tar.gz | 64-bit Intel |
linuxx86-20.06.0.15.tar.gz | 32-bit Intel |
linuxarmhf-20.06.0.15.tar.gz | ARM HF |
The difference between packages that offer support for Web Workspace app and those packages that support self-service is that the latter packages include dependencies required for self-service in addition to those needed for the Web Workspace app. Dependencies for self-service are a superset of those required for Web Workspace app, but the files installed are identical.
- If you require only workspace app for web, or your distribution does not have the necessary packages to support self-service, install only the workspace app for web package.
- Otherwise, install Citrix Workspace app from the Debian package or the RPM package. These files are easier to use because they automatically install any required packages.
- If you want to customize the installation location, install Citrix Workspace app from the tarball package.
- Do not use two different installation methods on the same machine. If you do, you might see error messages and unwanted behavior.
Install using a tarball package
The tarball package does not perform dependency checks nor install dependencies. All system dependencies must be resolved separately.
- Open a terminal window.
- Extract the contents of the .tar.gz file into an empty directory. For example, type: tar xvfz packagename.tar.gz .
- Type ./setupwfc and then press Enter to run the setup program.
- Accept the default of 1 (to install Citrix Workspace app) and press Enter.
Type the path and name of the required installation directory and then press Enter, or press Enter to install Citrix Workspace app in the default location.
The default directory for privileged (root) user installations is /opt/Citrix/ICAClient .
The default directory for non-privileged user installations is $HOME/ICAClient/platform . Platform is a system-generated identifier for the installed operating system, for example, $HOME/ICAClient/linuxx86 for the Linux/x86 platform).
If you specify a non-default location, set it in $ICAROOT in $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash\_profile .
If you have previously installed GStreamer, you can choose whether to integrate GStreamer with Citrix Workspace app, and thus, support HDX MediaStream Multimedia Acceleration. To integrate Citrix Workspace app with GStreamer, type y at the prompt.
On some platforms, installing the client from a tarball package can cause the system to become unresponsive after prompting you to integrate with KDE and GNOME. This issue occurs with the first-time initialization of gstreamer-0.10. If you encounter this issue, terminate the installation process (using the keys ctrl+c) and run the command gst-inspect-0.10 — gst-disable-registry-fork —version . After running the command, you can rerun the tarball package without experiencing the issue.
If you log on as a privileged user (root), choose to install USB support for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops published VDI applications. Type y at the prompt to install USB support.
If you are not logged on as a privileged user (root), the following warning appears:
“USB support cannot be installed by non-root users. Run the installer as root to access this install option.”
Uninstall
This procedure has been tested with the tarball package. Remove the RPM and Debian packages using your operating system’s standard tools.
The environment variable ICAROOT must be set to the installation directory of the client. The default directory for non-privileged user installations is $HOME/ICAClient/platform . The platform variable is a system-generated identifier for the installed operating system, for example, $HOME/ICAClient/linuxx86 for the Linux/x86 platform. Privileged user installation defaults to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient .
To uninstall Citrix Workspace app, you must be logged in as the same user who performed the installation.
To uninstall Citrix Workspace app on the tarball package
- Run setup by typing $ICAROOT/setupwfc and press Enter.
- To remove the client, type 2 and press Enter.
To uninstall Citrix Workspace app on Debian/Ubuntu Operating systems
Run the following command from the Citrix Workspace app installation folder:
apt remove icaclient apt autoremove
apt remove icaclient apt purge icaclient
To uninstall Citrix Workspace app on Fedora/RHEL/CentOS Operating systems
