Arch Linux User Repository

according to marius' comments, I installed v7.0.6 successfully. here is the procedure:
1. download this deb package first: forticlient_7.0.6.0214_amd64.deb
2. convert this deb package into an arch package, I got a package file named "forticlient-7.0.6.0214-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst"
3. decompress it into a tar file like "forticlient-7.0.6.0214-1-x86_64.pkg.tar" by zstd cmd
4. extract the .INSTALL file from the tar file and change it according to marius' fix.
5. delete the .INSTALL file from the tar file and update the tar file with the changed one by "tar --delete -f forticlient-7.0.6.0214-1-x86_64.pkg.tar .INSTALL;tar -uf forticlient-7.0.6.0214-1-x86_64.pkg.tar .INSTALL;"
6. finally install it by cmd "sudo pacman -U forticlient-7.0.6.0214-1-x86_64.pkg.tar"
good luck!

Don't know if this comment is unwanted or bad and if so let me know and I will delete it, but I have switched to using openfortivpn-git which does everything I wanted forticlient to do and it works like a charm. Hope this helps someone :)

host repo.fortinet.com is not available

getting white screen with and without sudo same result how to fix thnx.

Having the blank screen thing here as well. Running with sudo and --no-sandbox does not help.

~~Having the same whitescreen error.~~ Figured out that running it with sudo privileges will get rid of the whitescreen.

Just installed and I am getting a white screen in the UI. Anyone figure this out yet?

@marius.zenitech why does your patch introduce dependencies on ledger-live-bin and tuxedo-control-center? They don't seem to have anything to do with the program.

@marius.zenitech i have same issue, only show blank window. You seems fixed it but how??
