@elessard Coming from the Ubuntu world and having trouble with the dependencies under Debian where the FortiClient wants to have libindicator and libappindicator. See whether you can add these to your system, that might give you the systray.

I have installed forticlient under kde plasma. Everything works fine but the missing feature that really bother me is the notification tray icon. the only way to check if you're connected (or simply a shortcut to connect you to the VPN) is by reopening the client, via systemctl or by checking your routing table. Anyone know a workaround to have the notification tray icon or a simple connection status icon?

I managed to run the latest version taken from the forticlient page. Following the steps of the debtap then installing with sudo pacman -U It gives some errors when installing and when you open it sometimes the whole screen remains white but it works even with ems :)

I leave the pkg generated with debtap https://drive.google.com/file/d/1phL3aB1WXmtTnAUpZl8FvVDKZRT_8abq/view?usp=sharing

which seems weird that it installs discord and chromium as dependencies haha if someone can happily modify it

Greetings and thanks to all!

Just created an account to confirm that the solution by Yolosan works for me. Thank you for posting it here @yolosan

Maybe that is not the right way (to install .deb) but it works.

I've ended up installing debtap, downloading the latest deb package from their website and running these commands:

# first update the debtap db
sudo debtap -u

cd ~/Downloads

# Note this might not be available when you try it. Go to their website to get the latest package.
wget https://fortinetweb.s3.amazonaws.com/forticlient/downloads/FortiClientFullVPNInstaller_6.4.3.0959_amd64.deb

debtap FortiClientFullVPNInstaller_6.4.3.0959_amd64.deb

# Press Enter a couple of times and wait for it to finish
sudo pacman -U forticlient-6.4.3.0959-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

For some reason(I don't know how to debug) the client still doesn't work. I ended up installing https://hadler.me/linux/openfortigui/ and it just worked after I've checked the SUDO -E Option option in Settings.

This does not work on my system. How do I fix it? Thank you.

Depends on gconf

Have you found a solution for the segmentation fault issue? I found this issue on the electron repo https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/13972 but still couldn't make it work. Any ideas?

Depends of libappindicator-gtk2
