As the comment in the PKGBUILD says (you've read it, right? ;) ), Cisco does not provide public downloads for this, so you have to obtain the installer yourself either through your own Cisco account or through your company's.

I have an issue where I just get a blank black screen from this program (window named Cisco Anyconnect secure mobility client). Starting vpnui from the terminal shows the following messages:

Gtk-Message: 15:08:22.556: Failed to load module 'colorreload-gtk-module'Gtk-Message: 15:08:22.556: Failed to load module 'window-decorations-gtk-module'

Anyone else having a similar issue? Any missing dependencies?

Wow, this is pretty old. The initial commit for 4.7 might be a good starting point, then you'll just have to figure out if any of the files have changed...

Hi, I'm trying to run AnyConnect with a v4.6 installer provided by my employer. It doesn't seem that there are any old versions of this package compatible with this version of the installer, but thought I'd double-check anyway. Also wondering if there's any other way to get my installer working with this package or if it's a lost cause?

FYI, if you're getting segfaults in libcsd.so, this is probably because you're trying to connect to a gateway running 4.8 with a 4.9 client. Make sure your client version matches the gateway!

You were right! The command was 'sudo systemctl enable vpnagentd.service'.Thanks a lot!

chrisjbillington commented on 2020-11-05 13:55

I'm not at my computer so can't look up what the systemd service is called. But if you run pacman -Ql cisco-anyconnect you should see a .service file among the files installed.

Run

systemctl enable --now name-of-service-file.service

To enable and start the daemon

carsten87 commented on 2020-11-05 13:51

@chrisjbillington: I don't think so... how should I do that? I downloaded and extracted the package, added the cisco installer file and ran makepkg -si from within the directory. Then tried to launch Cisco Anyconnect.

chrisjbillington commented on 2020-11-05 13:43

@carsten87 I think that's what happens when you aren't running the daemon. Have you enabled the systemd service?

carsten87 commented on 2020-11-05 13:40

Thanks for the instant response! Was able to install using your link. But the program will only show an empty window that disappears after about 20s without an error message. Any ideas?

Also, I finally got my hands on a newer version, so here's 4.9.03047.

This page contains links to download and installation instructions for VPN software for Linux.

University of Illinois students, faculty, and staff can use these directions to set up some Linux computers or devices to connect to the Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Cisco-supported Versions

Some versions of Red Hat Linux and Ubuntu are compatible with the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client. See the AnyConnect 4.8 Release Notes for a detailed listing of which versions and features are supported.

Downloading the VPN software

From the WebStore, download the VPN software that applies to your system's hardware (only 64 bit is supported in the 4.x software).

If you are using Ubuntu, you may also need to install the OpenConnect Network Manager in order to make the GUI work correctly:

for Ubuntu 16 try:

for older versions of Ubuntu, this command might be needed.

The information below has been modeled on the University of California at Irvine instructions provided at:

Additional troubleshooting tips are available there.

Red Hat Linux

As root, first unzip and untar the file, then run the vpn_install shell script. [Note the file name and directory name will change as the version changes. The example below was from version 4.3.05017.]

The vpn client will be installed on your system and the vpnagentd process will be started. This process will be started each time your system is booted.

Starting the VPN client

To start the VPN client:

• Command line:
  In a terminal window, type
  /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnui

• Gnome user interface:
  Look for Cisco AnyConnect in the menu system.

• Fedora:
  Look in Applications -> Internet

The Connect to: box appears.

• Enter vpn.illinois.edu and press return.

When the connection begins, enter the following:

• Group menu: Select 1_SplitTunnel_Default
  (Note: This is the most common choice. See About VPN Profiles for information about the alternatives, such as Tunnel All for access to library resources.)
• Username: Your NetID
  (or, if you're a guest, your guest ID)
• Password: Your Active Directory password
  (or, if you're a guest, your guest password)

In the box that appears, click Accept.
