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

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

I am running this package on EndeavourOS, with Gnome and X11. I have the same issue as @AshEnke, @amwalters, @xxmlud and others related to the message:GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.psecure.pulse was not provided by any .service files error message when running the program.

I found that the pulsesecure service was started but not enabled. See below:

systemctl status pulsesecure

Though it should only prevent the service from running on startup, it looks like enabling the service solves this issue. Maybe this is due to some missing symlink ? Hope this can help other to fix the problem in further versions.

systemctl enable pulsecure created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/pulsesecure.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/pulsesecure.service and solved the problem.

@erkexzcx I've checked the availability of RPM file, and the path to file works correctly. Maybe It is an temporary issue or network issue.

Looks like https://gml.noaa.gov/aftp/pub/cornwall/VPN%20Client/old/ps-pulse-linux-22.3r1.0-b18209-64bit-installer.rpm is unavailable and never loads to me, but I managed to find alternative download link:

https://wiki.univ-nantes.fr/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=nomade:pulse_clients:ps-pulse-linux-22.3r1.0-b18209-64bit-installer.rpm

In case it breaks - use below alternative links below to download using your browser. IDK, having a hard time using web archive today, so I just uploaded whenever I can:

https://anonymfile.com/AkJOV/ps-pulse-linux-223r10-b18209-64bit-installer.rpm
https://file.io/XsVxm1FwiHRk
https://safenote.co/r/64b7c2ef44c562@24587201

PKGBUILD have hardcoded checksum, so it automatically checks if the file is original/expected one or if it's not.

Having a problem with this - everything works up to the pop up asking me to enter my secondary password. I enter the password, hit connect but it doesn't seem to register that I've hit connect, then after 2 mins gives an error ('User input timeout. (Error:1382)'). I'm using v. 22.3.1.18209. Any ideas?

The authentication window (after clicking connect) is no longer being displayed after update.

@erkexzcx To run pulseUi, you need to web2kitgtk package. It is optional dependency because some users do not need to pulseUi.

Getting this:

$ grep Exec /opt/pulsesecure/resource/pulse.desktop
Exec=/opt/pulsesecure/bin/pulseUI
$ /opt/pulsesecure/bin/pulseUI                 
/opt/pulsesecure/bin/pulseUI: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Removing the symlink "/etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/openssl/ca-bundle.trust.crt" before updating the package fixed the problem.

But this should be handled by the package, I think. ;)
