Cisco Anyconnect VPN (Linux) won't launch

5

1

Using OpenSUSE 13.2 (64-bit), I recently installed the Cisco AnyConnect VPN. It shows up in my applications list, and I can try to launch it, but after about 10 seconds of the "loading" spinning icon, the application disappears from the task manager. How can I troubleshoot the application failing to launch?

Attempting to launch the VPN through 

/opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/vpnui

returned an error message that libpangox was not available. Installing that library with 

zypper inst libpangox-1_0-0

corrected the issue.

For the current version (1.12.4), inst is an unknown command. It must be in or install. But then it gives a "Warning: No repositories defined. Operating only with the installed resolvables. Nothing can be installed." – MERose – 2017-06-27T20:08:38.723

2Instead, simply use apt-get install libpangox-1.0 – MERose – 2017-06-27T20:10:48.497
