Was really tough finding this info via the web. If you click on the little arrow next to this file, and choose "Always open files of this type", then choose "Open", it should work. At this point, if you click on a browser link that should launch an application using Citrix, it will download a file called something like "launch.ica". Xdg-mime default sktop application/x-icaĦ.

Xdg-mime install -novendor /usr/share/mime/packages/ica.xml Then use your favourite text editor to edit /etc/gnome/defaults.listĥ. sudo update-desktop-database & sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mimeĤ. Create new file /usr/share/mime/packages/ica.xmlģ. Create new file /usr/share/applications/sktopĢ. Gnome-open opens files and urls with the default applications in:Ĭreating MIME types for Citrix ICA Clientġ. xdg-open comes from xdg-utils, which is distributed by freedesktop. It is necessary to setup mime correctly in order for the launch.ica file to be opened with the correct application.Ĭhrome uses xdg-open which is a shell script (/usr/bin/xdg-open) which in turn uses gnome-open. You disable the plugin (which Chrome had presumably installed automatically because I had it on my system for use with Firefox) by entering about:plugins in the address bar in Chrome, and then scroll down to the Citrix plugin and there should be an option to disable it. deb version, and then use sudo dpkg -i to install it. Most of the info came from this forumīut I thought I'd paste / distil / add my comments.ĮSSENTIALLY: the trick is that you need to have installed Citrix ICA client (known as XenApp) from Citrix's website, but not use the browser plugin in the way that (say) Firefox does. Lots of heartache to find this, but quite simple in the end.
