My company asked us to set up and test remote connections to be able to work from home for the next weeks. They want me to install FortiClient for the VPN connection. I followed the steps here:

https://www.forticlient.com/repoinfo

but got errors during the process. Can someone hint to what I can do?

  • It's not clear what command you ran exactly for the "install gpg key" part, but it's clear that it was not completed correctly. – dobey Mar 15 '20 at 20:00
  • I followed the steps from their website: wget -O - https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/ubuntu/DEB-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add - – tmt Mar 15 '20 at 20:13

I searched a bit further and found this thread here on askubuntu:

How do I fix the GPG error "NO_PUBKEY"?

That worked. :)
