Hello,

I am trying to find people using Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop with Linux 
clients. I hope there are people on this list.

We recently got an updated Citrix Receiver 12.1.6 for Linux. It seems to 
solve a number of problems, including a crash on non-LDAP (SSSD, nss-db, 
likewise, winbind, etc.) directory services.

They don't release the version publicly, but if you have a support 
contract you can report i.e. this problem to acquire the version:

"Attempts to launch a published application from the Receiver for Linux 
using domain credentials with Centrify might fail."  [From 
LUR12.1.6][#LA3270]

("might" is a weak word here. I'd say "will fail unless you use nscd". 
Also it's not a Centrify problem, but the lack of NSS libraries 
underhand, happens on any provider on amd64).

From my communication with Citrix it seems that the Linux Receiver 
problems are rarely reported. Ideally I would like to have the same 
feature set in the Linux version as in the Windows one. For that I need 
more attention being put from Linux users.

For that to work, though, we need to put some pressure on Citrix from 
the Linux side. We can do this by cross-reporting bugs (reporting a bug 
referencing other people's bug numbers). Thus we could create a "public 
bugtracker" that helps people find and get their problems solved.

Please contact me if you're interested. We could focus our efforts then.

Cheers,
Ballock
