After package installation, vpnagentd service must be enabled: sudo systemctl enable --now vpnagentd.service; sudo systemctl status vpnagentd.service

There's a newer version available:

When I try to connect, I get the error: "you are missing the required libraries."

To solve this: "pacman -S webkit2gtk"

Then it will try to connect, but you get a blank window. To solve this, launch the application with:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 /opt/cisco/secureclient/bin/vpnui

I'm actually on manjaro, so I think the issue was them still pointing to a slightly older extra repo. After manjaro update it works fine. Thanks all!

@ExpandingMan AUR helpers, like yay, should install libxml2-legacy from extra automatically, since it's listed as a dependency. If it doesn't work somehow, you can install it manually with pacman:

# pacman -Su libxml2-legacy

@JotaRata it works for me. Versions 2.13 and 2.11 are binary compatible, and have the same soname: libxml2.so.2. If it doesn't work for you, what's the error message when launching from terminal?

$ cisco-secure-client

For some reason libxml2-legacy still doesn't work, the version that is available in the repository is version 2.13 abd the one Anyconnect requires is version 2.11. One potential fix is to manually download libxml2 2.11 from the archive and install it in /usr/local/lib

ExpandingMan commented on 2025-05-12 12:59 (UTC)

For some reason I get

No AUR package found for libxml2-legacy

and then it won't install.

Clearly this exists (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libxml2-legacy/) but it also doesn't seem to list this package as a dependent.

@marcin maybe some archive.org (temporary) issues. It downloads fine for me now:

I think the archive.org link does not work anymore:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to archive.org port 443 after 4 ms: Could not connect to server
