Hello y’all, I am required to use Cisco Secure Client Version 5.1.2.42 for my university; however, it needs webkit2gtk4.0 to open the SSO window. Unfortunately, my university will not provide an newer version which would theoretically use the updated dependency.
I know that version has been deprecated since f39 but is there any way to install in regardless?
Certainly.
It could be installed from the f39 repo, but there would be a LOT of dependency issues that would need resolved.
On my f44 system, testing the command to do that
(sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.0 --releasever=39 --allowerasing --disable-repo \* --enablerepo fedora,updates)
gave this
Transaction Summary:
Installing: 164 packages
Replacing: 1499 packages
Removing: 165 packages
Downgrading: 1499 packages
In other words, you probably do not want to go down that rabbit hole.
Researching an alternate connection method would be best, unless you were to have a separate machine on which you installed f39 and used it solely for connections to the university.
Ho boy, I think I’m better off physically going to campus rather than doing that. Maybe I could try talking to some of my buddies in IT to somehow get a newer version.
Thanks for your help!
cloudflare-warp also need webkit2gtk3 omg…
You can try this way…
Is it not possible to setup the VPN connection in NetworkManager using the OpenConnect plugin? That should be compatible with Ciscos SSL VPN protocol.
You can’t run VPN apps inside containers.
So this is a VPN thing too?
yes, https://1.1.1.1
Oh, I knows, Cloudflare layoffs causes this, they added webkit2gtk3 to new versions of cloudflare-warp package, wtf
