No Way Know How

Another install, another drama getting icaclient working. So I followed the instructions in my previous post and it worked OK to a point. Firstly, I've learned enough since I the last time that I'm nervous about chucking in repositories willy-nilly especially the sid repo and wheezy repo in the same breath! Anyway, I pushed on recklessly and got ica client installed and working as per the instructions, but it was coming up broken due to an unresolved dependency (that synaptic wouldn't tell me!). apt-get instsall -f didn't work. Long story short: sudo dpkg --configure -a  told me the dependencies that weren't fulfilled and I just did sudo vim /var/lib/dpkg/status /icaclient and deleted the dependencies. Hacky, but I don't care. Then I removed the additional repos from /etc/apt/sources-list so I didn't get all clashing updates from stable and unstable debian repos. So now citrix works as well as I need it to and my packages are up-to-date

http://askubuntu.com/questions/468466/why-this-occurs-error-diskfilter-writes-are-not-supported " It's a BUG! This is a bug that occurs in the most recent version of Ubuntu Server (Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS), when you create the boot partition (or the root partition, when the boot partition doesn't exists) inside a LVM or a RAID partition. You can get more info about this bug in Ubuntu Launchpad: Bug #1274320 "Error: diskfilter writes are not supported" . Why does this bug occur? When the system is booting, GRUB reads ( load_env ) data in /boot/grub/grubenv . This file is called GRUB Environment Block . From the GRUB Manual: It is often useful to be able to remember a small amount of information from one boot to the next. [...] At boot time, the load_env command (see load_env) loads environment variables from it, and the save_env (see save_env) command saves environment variables to it.
