I have also tried to reinstall the Pulse Secure VPN (same version as listed above) following instructions from here after deleting the /usr/local/pulse and /.pulse_secure directories, but the issue persists. [Also tried filling the form given here but never received the download link of the latest client]

Thanks @Princemachiavelli for the tip about openconnect. I ended up going on a rabbit hole and managed to get it to work based on this comment. It was stupidly simple and took all of 2 minutes as opposed to the 4 hours i wasted on trying to package pulse secure vpn client.
The pulse-cookie package looks pretty good and your packaging of it is pretty neat @erahhal. I started with no choices and now this thread has given me two choices and I am conflicted as I much prefer the Qt version over the selenium/Chromedriver version I got to work 2 days ago. Here is what I am using for reference,
1. Download the pulsesecure client off of -l109.engr.uiowa.edu/downloads/
2. Choose the latest version for your distro
a. Debian/Ubuntu: -l109.engr.uiowa.edu/downloads/PulseSecure-lnx64.deb
b. Centos/RHEL: -l109.engr.uiowa.edu/downloads/PulseSecure-lnx64.rpm
In 2014, Siris Capital acquired the Junos Pulse business from Juniper Networks and formed the standalone entity, Pulse Secure.

In 2015, Pulse Secure launched Pulse One, which provided central policy management that enabled secure access for all endpoints and mobile devices to corporate applications on-premises and in the cloud.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.
Thanks for your reply! Now pulse starts up successfully, but I still receive no sound, except faint static. Maybe the problem is with Alsa, and not pulseaudio? ( I'm using an intel integrated soundcard.)
A combination of extremely high-speed cryptographic primitives and means that secure networking can be very high-speed. It is suitable for both small embedded devices like smartphones and fully loaded backbone routers.
Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS) are issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). FIPS 140 specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules. These requirements address the areas of secure design and implementation.
