Installing Citrix client on Ubuntu 11.04 32bits desktop

It is now quite easy to install the Citrix client on Ubuntu 11.04 (32bits version). Here are the first steps:
  1. Go to citrix.com > Downloads > Client center > Linux
  2. Download the .deb version
  3. Open a terminal
  4. Go to the directory where you saved the .deb
  5. Type this command:
    sudo apt-get install libmotif4
  6. When the above command is done, fire this one:
    sudo dpkg -i icaclient_11.100_i386.patched.deb
  7. In order to have the certificate of your Citrix gateway taken into account, you have to connect to the portal with Firefox and enter your credentials as if you were going to start your Citrix desktop or application. When done, go back to the terminal and launch this command:
    sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/*.* /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/   
The step 7 mentioned above prevents you from receiving the following error message when trying to connect:
You have chosen not to trust "Thawte Premium Server CA", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).

Installing the Citrix client on the 64bits version of Ubuntu 10.4 implied more steps. The process with the 11.04 64bits will be the subject of another post.
