Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client Ubuntu 18.04 Windows 10

When using Ubuntu version 18.04 or 19.10, Cisco Anyconnect VPN disconnects, and you are unable to reconnect. Explanation: This issue is caused when DHCP attempts to renew the lease of the IP address attached to the device that you are using. The renew process happens every 10 to 15 minutes for wireless devices and every 11 hours for wired. I am having problems on a Cisco VPN. ISSUE: Unable to open 'Cisco Anyconnect Secure mobility client' on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS after the complete installation. I am able to see the icon on the application menu; but, when I launch the app it doesn't open. Below is the screenshot logs for your reference.

SLAC has some pages on installing antivirus and AnyConnect, but they are somewhat distributed, and are mostly focused on systems that are SLAC supported Windows and SLAC supported MacOS. This document is an attempt at providing a streamlined recipe for a self-supported Mac running Linux.

The process described here is for a MacBook Air running the Elementary Linux distribution version 5.1 (based on the Ubuntu Linux 18.04 LTS distribution).

Ethernet and Wireless Networking

This section is very specific to the hardware used. While this is not a general recipe, it may be useful for inspiration of what to try. The MacBook Air has no built-in Ethernet, only wireless. Unfortunately, the default installation of many Linux distributions don't have the correct wireless driver, so the user is left with no way to connect to the network after installation. I was unable to get an Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter to work, but a Linksys USB adapter (model USB3GIGV1) was recognized. Thus, I could use Ethernet to install OS updates and download wireless drivers.

To install wireless drivers, you need to know which chipset is being used. In my case, it was a Broadcom BCM4360 802.11ac adapter. This page on Broadcom Wifi on Ubuntu provided some useful documentation. The 'lspci' will display information about the PCI bus.

On the Broadcom Wifi page listed above, the driver is given by:

Installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package and rebooting allowed wireless to work. I have found wireless to be very stable.

Antivirus

CLAM AV is an open source antivirus engine. This page gives the following instructions for Ubuntu as well as other distributions. I installed clamav and clamav-daemon. I have added the necessary 'sudo' statements to the recipe.

Cisco Anyconnect For Linux Ubuntu

The Service Now Linux VPN Knowledgebase article describes obtaining AnyConnect from the VPN server itself. However, the auto-detect mechanism requires Java which you may not have (I didn't). Instead, I installed Cisco AnyConnect manually following the instructions at Cisco AnyConnect manual install. To install, you need to unpack the downloaded archive and run a shell script:
