how to set client installer to chmod +x citrixvpn-linux-2.4-i386.sh

I am obviously a beginner but fully committed to Ubuntu philosophy

when you open the terminal you need to navigate to the folder you have the file in. cd ~/Downloads and then run your chmod command.

Hope this helps..

tried but got this

conwell@ubuntu:~$ cd~/Downloads
bash: cd~/Downloads: No such file or directory

note the space between cd and ~/Downloads

Tried with & without the space character

conwell@ubuntu:~$ cd ~/Downloads
bash: cd: /home/conwell/Downloads: No such file or directory
conwell@ubuntu:~$ cd~/Downloads
bash: cd~/Downloads: No such file or directory
conwell@ubuntu:~$

Here is the download link. The Downloads folder pops up on the desktop with downloaded file highlighted.

https://access.docs.bshsi.org/citrixvpn-linux-2.4-i386.sh

where is the file? if it is on the desktop, then when you open the terminal you need to type cd Desktop. If it is in some other place, then you need to type cd <someotherplace> eg: cd /home/conwell/downloads

The chmod command will only work when you can type:

ls

and the name of the file citrixvpn....sh appears. ie: you are in the directory where the file is.

Thanks.
I got to the desktop where the file is located $ ran the first comand.

The next step is Set root privileges. The command is $ su . When I type su I am asked for a password. I enter my same, only logon password and I get this:

su: Authentication failure
conwell@ubuntu:~/Desktop$

Is it expecting some other password? I´ve tried several

you need to enter sudo instead of su, sudo works differently to su. (find info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo)

for everything it says you need to have 'root privileges' you need to prefix the command with sudo. for example if it says you have to run the command './yourfile.sh' then you would run 'sudo ./yourfile.sh'

it will ask you for your password but you can use your login password.

Thanks for all of the help. One step closer, now asking about iptables. If I say ¨n¨ it says ïnstall the packages. If I say ¨Y¨ it asks for location. Haven´t a clue here.

This software requires iptables to be installed. Is it installed? [yes or no]
y

What is the location of your linux kernel source? [/usr/src/linux]

Thanks, Gord. You guys are great! Hope I learn enough to help someday.

Gord, I'm using an XO computer running Ubuntu Intrepid off my SD card. I am trying to connect to my office VPN, which uses the Citrix VPN. I have downloaded and made executable the citrixvpn-linux-2.4-i386.sh script. I also downloaded linux-headers-generic. When I run the cintrixvpn script, here's what I get after accepting the Citrix license:

This software requires iptables to be installed. Is it installed? [yes or no]
yes

What is the location of your linux kernel source? [/usr/src/linux]

So, this is something to do with net6vpnd, but I have no clue.

Citrix reports that it discontinued support for the newer linux kernels. See http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=105624. Are you aware of any workaround? JCR

I got this from Gord some time ago. Although I made some progress, I was never able to get the Citrix VPN Client completely installed & working. I love Ubuntu & the whole philosphy but installing programs can be a real pain.

Gord Allott proposed the following answer:
you will have to install the kernel headers, sudo apt-get install linux-
headers-generic and then find the directory that its installed in
(/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16 or something like that)

Hope this helps,

Terminal is Ubuntu version of Windows command prompt. You have to enter the mnemonic commands as instructed.

By the way, I never did get the Citrix client fully installed. There may be a newer, easier install

Your question #48881 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/48881

    Status: Open => Answered

Gord Allott proposed the following answer:
you need to enter sudo instead of su, sudo works differently to su.
(find info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo)

for everything it says you need to have 'root privileges' you need to
prefix the command with sudo. for example if it says you have to run the

it will ask you for your password but you can use your login password.
