If you want to use old pulse-secure client 9.1r9, please download the following package.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_8tRA-T9vV08n_TpHqdcG5IvalxBuZ7_/view?usp=sharing

The rewritten pulse-secure client requires a service called 'pulsesecure'. Please enable and start the service before running the client.

I'm getting a core dump trying to run this.

Has anyone managed to get this working with Wayland? On Sway, I get cannot open display: (in cef_browser_stderr.log). I have gtkmm3 and webkit2gtk installed, the pulsesecure service is up and running.

I'm having the below issue when trying to connect to any of my VPN servers. Any idea what's that all about ? I tried rolling back to 9a1fb26, 4909117, ed1ffb7, 2d775e7, 4ede99e but still the same issue. At this point I'm suspecting one of the deps or kmods or even the kernel itself, but I can't tell for sure.

Connection Error

Failed to setup virtual adapter. (Error:1205)   

Restart your system and try again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.

Edit, I had this happen on two laptops so far after updating the system. I still have one that is working fine so I will avoid updating it until the issue is resolved.

@billerby Thanks for notification. I've updated the package.

@orbitrus Thanks for suggestion. I've applied the suggestion to the CEF install script.

Seems the download link in the PKGBUILD is no longer valid, however there is a new version in that download directory:

https://dl.vpn.ucsb.edu/clients/Linux%20VPN%20Client/ps-pulse-linux-22.8r3-b35577-installer.rpm

After updating to 22.8r2, I've been asked to reinstall CEF. I ran into issues with setup_cef.sh throwing command not found: -a

Cause: The script shasum is not installed by default or dependency. From what I can tell it's from PERL Digest::SHA. Recommend switching to sha256sum from coreutils.

@greenstone You need to install gtkmm3 and webkit2gtk packages for pulseUi, which are already suggested as optional dependencies.

MISSING DEPENDENCY: /opt/pulse-secure/bin/pulseUI required libwebkit2gtk for me. Thanks <3

p.s.: additionally message the user that executables are in /opt/pulse-secure/bin/ ?

Hi,

New build 22.8-R1 is out, could you update the package?

Thanks!

While waiting for version 22.7r4, we can apply this patch to versión 22.7r3
