Arch Linux User Repository

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.

@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/ ?

ps-pulse-linux-22.7r3-b30227-installer.rpm is out, can you please update the build.

@Marduk, webkit2gtk and gtkmm3 are already listed in the optional dependencies. Note that there is another method (pulsesvc) to connect VPN without the GUI; thus, they are optional.

Under Plasma 6 (Endeavouros Neo)

for the GUI to launch , I needed to do :

sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk && sudo pacman -S gtkmm3

EDIT: Problem after I reboot(I enable pulsesecure.service at boot

After one successful try with pulse-secure(ui can be opened, VPN is connected), it stopped working today.

I made sure the pulsesecure.service is enabled

systemctl status pulsesecure
● pulsesecure.service - pulsesecure service Daemon
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/s
ystem/pulsesecure.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

     CGroup: /system.slice/pulsesecure.service
             └─18231 /opt/pulsesecure/bin/pulsesecure

However, when I tried to open pulseUI, it won't start. Then I abort the current task with ctrl+c, it gave the following error:

DBUS api call failed with code: 2 - message:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name is not activatable 

webkit2gtk and gtkmm3 are all installed

@Suma67 @chiwanpark I can both build the package manually with makepkg and download the source file directly via browser. Maybe the yay helper is part of the problem or your specific location / region gets blocked. Maybe try building the package without yay.
