You're right. I should start there.

Firefox and Citrix on Debian Testing
I am on debian testing. I installed the latest citrix workspace client from here: https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/linux/workspace-app-for-linux-latest.html - amd64 bit version. This seemed to work fine except firefox no longer downloaded content (chrome did) and syslogd was throwing errors. Removing the icaclient from the system seems to have resolved the issue. some of the error messages from the /var/log/syslog Feb 18 13:29:42 debian citrix-chrome[7962]: Failed to connect with logd. Feb 18 13:29:42 debian citrix-AppProtectionService[697]: Failed to connect with logd. Feb 18 13:29:42 debian citrix-kded5[2284]: Failed to connect with logd. Feb 18 13:29:42 debian citrix-kactivitymanagerd[2465]: Failed to connect with logd. Basically they are all saying that citrix cannot connect to logd. Also I did not install anything beyond just the client - did not configure citrix for any remote desktop. Wondering if this is just broken on testing, or are there other packages I need to install or workarounds available. Thanks, Aaron
Re: Trackpoint not work properly on Thinkpad T470
Thanks for the tip! I will have to check those out as well. I believe I did have the non free when I setup to ensure Wi-Fi support. I don't know if the miscellaneous non free was included with that build. I used an unofficial build from here using the netinst.iso writtento a USB. https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/ Here are my apt sources.

Re: Trackpoint not work properly on Thinkpad T470
Well, I don't think it's a hardware issue. The computer is less than a year old and it's been used sporadically over the last year. Any thoughts on how to rule hardware out as an issue?

Trackpoint not work properly on Thinkpad T470
Hi, I'm on debian buster using KDE as my GUI. My trackpoint was working quite well until a month or two ago (maybe more). Now it has some odd behavior where it will snap to the bottom of the screen every so often when I'm using it. Seems like the input is very sensitive to the bottom direction. No snapping to any other location Really seems like the input in the down direction became overly sensitive. I can't really control the rate of a downward cursor movement consistently. It's just to fast from time to time. Any help would be appreciated. I would provide more details, configs, etc., but I'm not really sure what's relevant. Thanks, Aaron
