I am trying to understand why Pulse secure installed via Debian package is not starting at all.

I am able see it in the GUI menu, when clicked the Menu disappears and now the application should start, but it doesn't.

In terminal with Sudo access I type pulse and hit enter, but this doesn't execute it.

root@user:/home/user# pulse 

Command 'pulse' not found, did you mean: 

  command 'apulse' from deb apulse 

Try: apt install <deb name>

List of Applications Shows a different name:

root@user:/home/user# ls -lh /usr/share/applications | grep pulse

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  285 Aug 29  2017 pulseUi.desktop

What's confusing me is while removing this package I am able to see this in terminal.

user@user:~$  sudo apt remove pulse

pulse                        pulseaudio                   pulseaudio-module-bluetooth  pulseaudio-utils

Additional Information:

uname -a

Linux user 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 16 12:15:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Appreciate your time already in reading the details above.

Execute the command inside the pulseUi.desktop file. I get the 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 missing the library libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0. I solve the problem by

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0

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
