#HOW TO SET DEFAULT PROGRAM TO OPEN CITRIX INSTALL#

installed as admin user, run as admin user.Д«een advised to do a fresh install of Windows to see if that works, but for a development PC in an enterprise workplace I am not willing to do this, it will take me days to configure everything back to where it is now.

had our IT dept look at in detail, they are stumped.

installed Citrix from the client (our partner's portal) and from the official website.

associated the ica file with the correct app.

I have tried Edge, Explorer, Firefox and Chrome and some other browsers, so the 'just use tips in this thread do not solve it. No matter what I do I get the ' unable to launch your application' dialog on Windows 10. It's not the server side because I have installed Citrix in Linux via a VM and it works without problem, except that it runs slow and I need it native on Win 10 for work). The nice thing about opensuse is, they put lots of documentation in their files.Cannot get this to open the app on WIn 10 (upgraded from Win 8.1). xdg-mime query filetype FILE is particularly helpful in this case. Firefox Preferences -> Applications has a similar dialog with the same end results.ДЄ man -k xdg shows other xdg commands which I'm just starting to read about.

As far as I can tell this creates a X.desktop (where X is the appname) file and updates mimeapps.list in $HOME/.local/share/applications/. This info is also presented when you right-click and select 'Properties' -> 'Open With'. Caja, Mate's file browser, shows first the Default application, a horizontal line, then Other applications that handle the mimetype with the last entry being, 'Open With Other Application'. I suspect all file browsers might operate in a similar fashion. If you wanted to just impact a single user, a right-click 'Open With' would do the trick. The way presented here is definitely more advanced. In KDE this was done via an app in Personal Settings/Configure Desktop -> File Associations.

I was researching mimetypes (i.e., where do they come from, defaults, how to add or change them).

My environment is opensuse 13.1 using the Mate desktop and Firefox web browser. 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.

#HOW TO SET DEFAULT PROGRAM TO OPEN CITRIX DOWNLOAD#

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-icaДҐ. Xdg-mime install -novendor /usr/share/mime/packages/ica.xml Update-desktop-database & sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mimeД¤. Create new file /usr/share/mime/packages/ica.xml Create new file /usr/share/applications/sktopДў. Here are the actions that worked for me in OpenSuse 13.1Д¬reating MIME types for Citrix ICA ClientДЎ. To fix this I followed the instructions for Ubuntu - these instructions mostly work, I'm giving credit to the original poster of the solution in that forum:

When you login into your Citrix launch site with Chromium and click on an icon, it will download a file like 'launch.ica' and when I tried to launch it would just open in Kwrite. I did noticed that Chromium still used the old standard. This worked on Firefox for awhile, but policies were changed for Windows only at the site. I had already installed Citrix ICA Client on my OpenSuse machine.
