Ubuntu 18.04 Pulse secure won't start

Executing the command inside the pulseUi.desktop file. I get the following error:

/usr/local/pulse/pulseUi:error while loading shared libraries: libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The error is caused by the missing library libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0. I solved the problem by installing the following package

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0

Update: On another Ubuntu 18.04 workstation, I have to install the libgnome-keyring0 as well.

The general solution is to execute the executable file, e.g. /usr/local/pulse/pulseUi. Then install all the missing libraries that are reported in the error messages.


In the Ubuntu Version 18.04, You could install Pulse Secure, post download, using the below command:

$ sudo dpkg -i /home/{user}/Downloads/ps-pulse-linux-9.0r2.0-b819-ubuntu-debian-64-bit-installer.deb

Followed by installing the below required dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0.0
$ sudo apt-get install libproxy1-plugin-webkit
$ sudo apt-get install libgnome-keyring0
