I am starting this thread because I found a how to on Ubuntu wiki (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo), that I found overly complicated.
1. Open Firefox in Kubuntu 15.10, go to https://www.citrix.com/downloads/citrix-receiver/linux
2. find the newest linux icaclient for your architecture. I have Receiver for Linux (x86_64), version 13.2.1 - Full package. Select the Debian package.
3. By default, Kubuntu will suggest to install this for you using qapt-deb-installer. (See image above: it's the nynorsk language version of firefox but you may be able to figure it out, by comparison.) You have to supply your password, just like when you install other software using other applications.
4. This is probably not always necessary, but I had to add some extra SSL certificates. This is because by default, Citrix Receiver only trusts a few root CA certificates. That causes connections to many Citrix servers to fail with an SSL error. The 'ca-certificates' package (already installed on most Ubuntu systems) provides additional CA certificates in /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/ that can be conveniently added to Citrix Receiver to avoid these errors. To connect these, use Konsole, and issue these commands:
5. Enable the icaclient firefox extension in firefox settings>extensions.
6. Now go to your Citrix server URL, log in and start working in the OS you don't like, but have to use.
