Ubuntu on XPS M1330 - Installing Citrix

Last time I tried Citrix on Ubuntu, it failed, reporting the lack of OpenMotif libraries. Having researched the dependency, I now realise that I need to install libmotif3 first. With the system up to date, and all repositories set up, I can now do it:

root@cherry:~# apt-get install libmotif3

Now for Citrix: go to Citrix download site: http://www.citrix.com/site/ss/downloads/ and follow the links for "Clients" then "Linux". Identify the tarball (.tar.gz file) for your architecture and download it. Unless you have modified the default browser settings, the citrix client should have landed on your Desktop. By the way, notice that the following steps are done as ordinary user. That means that I am talking here about the Desktop of the user you are logged on as, rather than the desktop of the user "root".

alina@cherry:~$ cd Desktop
alina@cherry:~/Desktop$ tar zxvf en.linuxx86.tar.gz
./
./PkgId
./install.txt
./eula.txt
./readme.txt
./setupwfc
./linuxx86/
./linuxx86/hinst
./linuxx86/linuxx86.cor/
...

The listing above has been concatenated, there should have been a lot more files whizzing in front of your eyes!

In the current location (wherever you were when you unpacked the tarball), there should be the setup script (setu
pwfc). Run it, and follow the prompts. If you accept the defaults (wise move!) then the whole process is relatively painless:

alina@cherry:~/Desktop$ ./setupwfc

This *should* be it. Oh no, not yet! When I downloaded Citric client for RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), I was able to connect to the server at this point. Here, an essential SSL certificate was missing.

So, one more preparation step, to create a file under the keystore directory, that will store the certificate for SSL Citrix.

Edit a (new) file, called: ~/ICAClient/linuxx86/keystore/cacerts/UTN-USERFirst-Hardware.crt and paste into it the following lines (including those with BEGIN and END):
