I am currently running Sueeze on an AMD64 box. I hope to upgrade to
Wheezy soon, but I have a problem:
Citrix Receiver
It runs fine on Squeeze using IA32-libs. There does not seem to be a
native 64-bit version for linux. I decided I would install Wheezy,
activate multi-arch for i386 and install the 32-bit version. It was a
good plan, except that it does not work. The Citrix Receiver apparently
requires nspluginwrapper, which is not available in Wheezy because it
depends on ia32-libs and so does not play nicely with multi-arch.
So, my options seem to be:
1) Stick with Squeeze indefinitely
2) Hope Citrix releases a true 64-bit version soon
3) Find some other way to run the receiver
Option 1 is not the best. I could be running Squeeze for a long time.
Option 2 would be great if I thought it would happen soon. I'm sure
they will come out with a 64-bit version for linux, but when that will
happen is another story.
That leave Option 3. Well, why not just run Squeeze in a VM? If I
could clone my currently running Squeeze box into a Virtualbox VM then I
could run that under wheezy and have a way to access my work computer.
So, does anyone know of a way to convert my current system to a
Virtualbox VM? Or would it be better to just create a new machine and
install from scratch? Getting Citrix Receiver running properly always
seems to be a hassle, so I thought that converting my current system
might be easier. Any suggestions?
