Notes:

I have Linux ICA client 10.6.115659 installed on Ubuntu 8. Please see my other video http://citrix.utipu.com/app/tip/id/2543/ for installation instructions
One way to launch application is through "web interface". I've logged into my "web interface" web site I created earlier
I can see the applications I have access to Double click an application icon will launch that application.
Let's try launching published applications from client program
I am going to show PNAgent feature only
I've configured it to point to my previously configured PN Agent site. Provide credentials to the site
It will list all the published applications I have access to
select one application and click the launch icon to launch it
To point to a PN agent site, go to Tools->Settings menu
Type in the PNAgent URL, you can find the URL in Access Management Console. It also remembers a history of the URLs you used.
Make sure you select PNAgent view from view menu to use PNAgent feature
Once PNAgent is configured correctly, you can launch applications directly from Application menu
You can also add the published application icons to your desktop

Thanks Raoulteeuwen for your feedback! I am glad you found the video helpful. Have you checked if your problem is related to Certificate trust issue? Try to find out what certificate your site is using. You can find certificate details from firefox. Here is an article that explains the process http://www.hanckmann.net/?q=node/13 "Copy the certificate to the cacert folder of the ICA Client: sudo cp ~/Desktop/Root.crt /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/Root.crt " If this doesn't solve the problem, you can seek help from this Citrix support forum http://support.citrix.com/product/ica/unix/topic/icaconn/ Good luck Ray Yang

Thanks for this helpfull video, with which i managed to get Citrix Presentation Server running. But: i can't find out how to connect to our company server. In Windows i connect to https://mail.companyname.nl/citrix/metaframexp/default/frameset.asp ... Where and what do i enter this in the Citrix client for Ubuntu. Whatever i try, i get the message "Cannot get address for server "..."" (where ... is like https or if i leave that out mail.companyname.nl...).
