Fedora 28 - webkitgtk,xulrunner,mozjs17 problem.

[jamey]

New Ticket for Fedora 28.

We can reference this Ticket (F27 workaround) for things tried with a workaround for Fedora 27. As it stands, that workaround does not work for Fedora 28.

Current process: Install Pulse.

rpm -ivh ps-pulse-linux-5.3r3.0-b1021-centos-rhel-64-bit-installer.rpm

Attempt Dependency Install:

sudo /usr/local/pulse/PulseClient_x86_64.sh install_dependency_packages

This script will confirm the missing packages of:

• webkitgtk- is missing in the machine
• xulrunner is missing in the machine
• mozjs17 is missing in the machine

Performing an Install of xulrunner has not been available since Fedora 26. Installing xulrunner with rpm produces this output.

error: Failed dependencies:
	libhunspell-1.5.so.0()(64bit) is needed by xulrunner-44.0-9.fc26.x86_64
	libvpx.so.4()(64bit) is needed by xulrunner-44.0-9.fc26.x86_64
	xulrunner < 46 is obsoleted by (installed) fedora-obsolete-packages-28-4.noarch

I have stopped here for now. But here is where we can play to see if we can get a workaround going while simultaneously notifying Pulse of the issue. :-)

So far the fix for this is not an official fix but another workaround like Fedora 27.

1. Find this RPM (I got it from my Network/Infrastructure team)

ps-pulse-linux-9.0r1.0-b739-centos-rhel-64-bit-installer.rpm

2. Install it:

rpm -Uvh ps-pulse-linux-9.0r1.0-b739-centos-rhel-64-bit-installer.rpm

3. Install a hidden dependency:

sudo dnf install compat-libicu57-57.1-2.fc28.x86_64

This install process should hopefully be it. I do remember modifying a Configuration Script meant for Fedora 27 and changing it to be 28, so it would perform the same tasks on 28. But I believe this was undone in the beginning and was just a rabbit hole. If this does not work for you, let me know, and I'll see if that was something that stuck from earlier.

Thanks to @flipPipe for discovering the compat-libicu57 dependencies.

Is there a similar solution for Debian/Ubuntu?

Thank you!

Hello,

Have you tried to connect, without installing Pulse VPN client, but using Fedora native VPN client?

Select "Multi-protocol VPN client (openconnect)" which is compatible with Juniper / Pulse, then "Juniper Network Connect" protocol.

It works fine for me. Hope this helps.

Hi, I know this is old,

but I can't replicate your solution on a Fedora 33, even trying to install old packages.

I've found the pulse package here

https://rwts.com.au/pulse/old/

Running 

# bash PulseClient_x86_64.sh install_dependency_packages

goes in error because of those deprecated libraries.

From the command line, if i install the latest version it just hangs, while with your version it goes on segmentation fault.

From the system VPN it fails also.

NB: I should be able to insert an RSA code appeded to my PIN, and a realm value.

Thanks!
