    $ wget -c http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/o/openmotif/libmotif3_2.2.3-4_i386.deb
    $ sudo dpkg -i libmotif*i386.deb
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.4

  2. Download the Citrix Receiver 12.1 .deb files for ‘Receiver for Linux 12.1 from here

  3. Run hdxcheck.sh, which was installed with the Citrix Receiver:

    1
    $ sudo /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/hdxcheck.sh

    Look back through the messages displayed to check that it found libjpeg.so, as it might fail to do so despite it being installed. If it failed to find it then you can edit /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/util/hdxcheck.sh and change
    Lib=find *libjpeg.so* to Lib=find / -name *libjpeg.so*
    and run hdxcheck.sh again.
