How to install webkit2gtk3 on Fedora 43?

Ask Fedora

Hi!

I tried to install the Citrix Workspace App, the full RPM package, on my Fedora Workstation 43 computer. But when I execute the RPM package, it shows me an error, telling me “nothing provides webkit2gtk3”. DNF does not find a webkit2gtk3 package, only webkit2gtk4.1. I have no experience in getting older packages on a Fedora system.

What do I have to do now? Where can I get and install the older package to use Citrix Workspace? Is it possible to install webkit2gtk3 alongside webkit2gtk4.1? Or can this lead to a damaged system?

Thanks for your help,
Simon

In case you won’t find a better solution, a (not tested) workaround would be to install a Toolbx image which includes webkit2gtk3 (e.g. CentOS Stream 9 or similar), and install Citrix Workspace inside the created container.

Thanks for the hint with a container. I’ll try it with that or a virtual machine and then I’ll update this thread.

Hi! I decided to use the Citrix Web Client. This doesn’t support scaling unfortunately, but I don’t want to mess up my system while tinkering around with things I don’t understand. And the problem is not so important for me to invest a lot of work. Thanks for the input anyway.

This is working for me as a workaround. unfortunately copy/paste does not appear to work.

Hi Simon, where did you get Web Client from? When I download it from here Citrix Workspace app 2511 for HTML5 - Citrix it’s an exe file.
Also are you using Zoom VDI client or know whether it will work with Web Client?

Hi Lukasz! I go to the web address of my companies Citrix Server and there I don’t click on the Button to locate the Citrix Workspace App but on the small link blow to use the light version. Then I get to the Web Client and the Citrix Desktop opens in a new browser tab. Nothing to download or to install. Unfortunately, scaling doesn’t work properly with the web client. So I have to deal with small text.
