I've just installed Ubuntu 22.04 and I'm struggling to install Pulse Secure.

For installation, I use this answer

But got the error:

./pulseUi: error while loading shared libraries: libenchant.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As I understand I need libenchant1c2a, but I can't install it. What I did:

user@server:~$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/enchant/libenchant1c2a_1.6.0-11.4_amd64.deb

Error:

Could you help me?

  • "I can't install it" is vague. Maybe your command is wrong. Maybe your package name is wrong. Maybe lots of possibilities. The question may be answerable if it includes the complete input and output of what happens when you try to install libenchant. – user535733 May 23 '22 at 13:59
  • @user535733, thank you for your response! I clarify the question. – Andrei Borisevich May 23 '22 at 16:01
  • libenchant has been removed from new Ubuntu version and replaced by libenchant2. – Pilot6 May 23 '22 at 16:08
  • Looks like you are making two common mistakes. 1) You are using wget and dpkg -- that's the hard way. It's much easier to simply use apt, which will automatically solve versions and dependencies for you: sudo apt install libenchant1c2a or similar based upon the actual package name for your release of Ubuntu. 2) Becasue of #1, you are specifying a version that's not in the Ubuntu repositories -- that's why you are getting a 404 error. – user535733 May 23 '22 at 16:29

    Thanks! But I have already had libenchant-2-2, but Pulse does not work. – Andrei Borisevich May 23 '22 at 19:12

You can still use Pulse Secure in 22.04 but you'll need manually install some 20.04 packages, try this:

wget http://uz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/enchant/libenchant1c2a_1.6.0-11.4_amd64.deb

I also had to downgrade package libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0 to a previous release:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gst-plugins-base1.0/libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0_1.18.5-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0_1.18.5-1_amd64.deb
apt-mark hold libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0:amd64

Finally, i also had to run the command as root, as running it as a regular user stopped working for me in 22.04.

Hope that helped

As mentioned by @Pilot6 in the comments above libenchant has been replaced with libenchant2 found here. Try installing it with the command: sudo apt-get install -y libenchant-2-dev

  • Pulse (the company) should just allow everyone to download the client from their website for free. They already made money selling the pulse server software – RayRosli Abas Aug 08 '22 at 15:17
