Fortinet SSL VPN Client and Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I want to install the Forticlient SSL VPN Client on Ubuntu 12.04.

I've downloaded the latest version from the Fortinent support site but when I try to run the installer (vía command line or GUI) it simply does nothing.

I have tried to install both with and without sudo but nothing happens.

I remember some time ago that I successfully installed the same client in CentOS and the client worked fine.

Can anyone help me to install this?

Solution 1

You probably have the Ubuntu 64 bit version (at least it was my case). If so, just install the following package:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 xterm

Solution 2

For those who are using 64bit ubuntu 14.04 (after clean install you have to install these packages)

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libsm6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 xterm

Solution 3

I have had it to work. However it wants you to accept a License Agreement which it will try to open in xterm. So make sure that xterm has been installed:

sudo apt-get install xterm

I've installed it but appears that openvpn client does not be compatible with Fortinet SSL VPN.

This does not work for me: E: Couldn't find package libgtk2.0-0:i386

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

I am getting the following error "Dependency is not satisfiable libpango-1.0-0 (>=1.14.0)". I am using Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit. Any idea how to fix this?
