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.

@yan12125 re: link issues. It just seemed like there were less runtime link dependencies on the older webkitgtk2 vs the newer one, so I choose that one to get something running more easily.

@pd5rm: Thanks for the patch, but it's not necessary now. I've adopted webkitgtk and applied the enchant fix. Furthermore, the archlinuxcn team has published prebuilt binaries for webkitgtk. Check my comments at the webkitgtk package.

seems to have less link issues

Mind sharing what's the actual linking issue? It might be a webkitgtk issue and can be solved there.

Sorry, didn't have notifications enabled so didn't see earlier responses. I cleaned up my patch a little (makes the lib stuff more generic), and merge from latest master.

It's basically working around the issue of building webkitgtk from source which is very time consuming by pulling down the related binary bits (icu, enchant, webkitgtk) from archives. It's not a great way to package, but until Pulse starts pushing new builds there's not much else we can do here but workaround it.

@yan12125 I don't know if webkitgtk2 is any better, but seems to have less link issues when I tried. I think webkitgtk is newer in that it has GTK3 support. The versioning is very confusing.

Happy holidays and new year!

I put it in a GIST, since it got garbled a bit. https://gist.github.com/pd5rm/fad6d3800bdf1848d66040e47547db14

@ImNtReal, @mlotysz: icu and enchant issues belong to the webkitgtk package instead of this one. Please leave comments at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webkitgtk/ if you want them fixed.

@pd5rm: Is webkitgtk2 better than webkitgtk? Both are AUR packages and need lots of time for building.

@csmiet: Thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently rebuilding (patched) webkitgtk for testing. Please checkout https://github.com/yan12125/aur/issues/10 for progress.

I needed to install enchant1.6 and icu59 to get pulseUi to run.

Hi yan12125,

I packed pd5rm patch (see pd5rm commented on 2017-12-02 00:54) and added missing libenchant.1.so to it. Pulse secure is running now, however I don't have possibility to test it thoroughly. Patch: https://gist.github.com/mlotysz/a6e905477948e6bb05f95ba25d46a9ad.

Have fun!

Hi, I´m trying to run the pulseUi on a fresh ArchLinux installation. It fails with /usr/local/pulse/pulseUi: error while loading shared libraries: libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I don´t know where i can find this lib. Can anybody help me, please?. Thanks a lot.

I had some issues with this, so I wrote up a patch that makes it work for me. 1) Used Debian version instead of CentOS. Webkitgtk2 uses GTK 1 for Debian vs using GTK 3 (not available as a dep) for CentOS. 2) Made webkitgtk a real dependency since it's needed now because of previous step. 3) Added icu59 libs (pulled from archive, not ideal but it works) 4) Fixup related LD_LIBRARY_PATHs because of icu59 dep. 5) Fixup desktop file. The upstream pulse packages (deb/rpm) are just wrappers around shell scripts that do the installing. They also will rm -rf /usr/local if used. ;-( --- PKGBUILD | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++------ pulseUi.sh | 2 +- 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index fdd2160..8826e96 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -2,26 +2,32 @@ pkgname=pulse-secure pkgver=5.3r3.0 -pkgrel=3 +pkgrel=4 pkgdesc='Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) Client' arch=(x86_64) license=(custom) url='https://www.pulsesecure.net/' depends=(gcc-libs libgnome-keyring) source=("https://trial.pulsesecure.net/clients/ps-pulse-linux-$pkgver-b1021-centos-rhel-64-bit-installer.rpm" + "https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/i/icu/icu-59.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" pulseUi.sh EULA.txt) md5sums=('4cbe64953952d9ffdeaa4ffe2fc92a20' - 'd81155461e2666c2b9d669c1b76f85fe' + '049ca9bf777280536b3b75861e1512eb' + '44bb6dd99f201b84ed5e30aae17bc8f9' '261848a28201e5386ec4bf587473a48b') -optdepends=('webkitgtk: for pulseUi frontend' - 'psmisc: for pulsesvc -K') +depends=('webkitgtk2') +optdepends=('psmisc: for pulsesvc -K') conflicts=(pulse-connect-secure) prepare() { mkdir -p pulse && pushd pulse tar -zxvf ../usr/local/pulse/pulse.tgz popd + + # Extact libicu59 dependency no longer available in Arch current + mkdir -p libicu59 + cp usr/lib/libicu* libicu59 } package() { @@ -33,8 +39,15 @@ package() { # Skip PulseClient.sh - seems it's not useful here install -Dm755 pulse/{pulsediag,pulseutil} "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/ install -Dm4755 pulse/pulsesvc "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/ - install -Dm755 pulse/pulseUi_centos_7_x86_64 "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/pulseUi - install -Dm755 pulse/libpulseui.so_centos_7_x86_64 "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/libpulseui.so + # The Ubuntu version has depedency on WebGTK 2 which is easier to deal with than CentOS build. + install -Dm755 pulse/pulseUi_Ubuntu_16_x86_64 "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/pulseUi + install -Dm755 pulse/libpulseui.so_Ubuntu_16_x86_64 "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/libpulseui.so + + # Fix desktop file libicu + sed -i 's|$LD_LIBRARY_PATH|/usr/local/pulse/libicu59:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH|' pulse/pulseUi.desktop + # Fix desktop file version (desktop-file-validate complains about it) + sed -i 's|^version|Version|' pulse/pulseUi.desktop + install -Dm644 pulse/pulseUi.desktop "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/applications/ # Wrappers & symlinks @@ -43,5 +56,7 @@ package() { cp -dr --no-preserve=ownership pulse/html "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse/html + cp -dr --no-preserve=ownership libicu59 "${pkgdir}"/usr/local/pulse + install -Dm644 EULA.txt "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/ } diff --git a/pulseUi.sh b/pulseUi.sh index ed7eced..d9515ed 100644 --- a/pulseUi.sh +++ b/pulseUi.sh @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ #!/bin/sh -export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pulse +export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/pulse/libicu59:/usr/local/pulse exec /usr/local/pulse/pulseUi -- 2.15.1

@patrick.luehne This is not really the fault of this package. You need to also rebuilt webkitgtk, since that is actually the package with the icu dependency.

@yan12125: This package’s pulseUi command doesn’t work currently, because icu got updated earlier this month to version 60, but the pulseUi command requires the so files from version 59. This results in loading errors when attempting to start pulseUi. Fortunately, there is an icu59 package now in order to install older so files. For this reason, I’d suggest exchanging the icu dependency with icu59 until Pulse Secure sees a new release :).
