Firefox 64 bit Java, ICA und Flash Plugins using (K)Ubuntu 8.04

After playing around with amd64 Browser plugins in Kubuntu 7.10 the new challenge showed up today: The Firefox 3 beta of Kubuntu 8.04 does not like my old Java stuff. Bus as you will see the situation is more comfortable now, than it was with 7.10. Now my Firefox 3 is supporting all needed and fancy stuff even Java, Citrx ICA and Flash are running. So let’s see how…

Flash

You can use either Adept Manager or apt-get to install the flashplugin-nonfree package which contains Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. If you restart Firefox you are done. Give YouTube a try, do not forget tune up the volume that’s it.

apt-get install  flashplugin-nonfree

Citrix ICA

Download the Linux ICA Client on http://www.citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/ they offer .rpm and .tar.gz which I prefer. You have to install motif libraries before:

apt-get install libxaw6 libmotif3

mkdir /tmp/ica

cd /tmp/ica

tar -xzf  /your/path/to/de.linuxx86.tar.gz

sudo ./setupwfc

starts the installation procedure. Now adjust the 32 bit plugin with

nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so

to be used in Firefox 64 bit version. The link
