After installing Kubuntu 2404, I downloaded and installed Citrix Workspace app for Linux. sudo dpkg -i ./icaclient_24.5.0.76_amd64.deb

I see it in the programs (via windows key --> type citrix) but it does not start.

I found a similar issue on: Citrix Workplace not starting

In var/log/syslog I see the following error: /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/selfservice: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The same error is reveiled after: cd /opt/Citrix/ICAClient ./selfservice

This problem seems not uniquely linked to Citrix, more software is needs libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37

Suggestions to solve this issue:

  1. link to new library with old library name: sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18

... Citrix just crashes

  1. Install old library sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37

.. its absent in the Ubuntu2404 repository

  1. .. However this library is in /snap/gnome-42-2204/176/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

In Kubuntu 2404 there is a soft link to libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37.67.8 (The softlink libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so refers to libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37, so it seems prudent to copy the 3 files) (It's a soft link because the inodes differ, see: ls -i libwebkit*)

sudo cp libwebkit2gtk-4.0* /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

After reinstalling, starting ICAClient results in a new error : cd /opt/Citrix/ICAClient ./selfservice ./selfservice: error while loading shared libraries: libwpe-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does one needs to track and all dependencies in such a way to get Citrix running? Or is there a simple solution to fix this?

I had the same situation and i did something similar:

  • first i used the citrix workspacecheck util to identify missing dependencies and installed them: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-workspace-app-for-linux/system-requirements.html#workspacecheck
  • then i ran citrix from the command line: /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/selfservice
  • it generates errors for missing libraries (e.g. libicudata.so.70) , which i found all of them in snap of other apps (Mainly OnlyOffice) e.g. sudo find / -name libicudata.so.70
  • i copied each of these libraries to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ e.g. sudo cp /snap/onlyoffice-ds/210/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicudata.so.70 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
  • re-run citrix and re-copied them until citrix launched.

I'm afraid we will have to do this until citrix themselves prepare it for Ubuntu 24. Best!
