I'm on Debian, forticlient version 7.0.0.0018 amd64. When I try to start the application I get this error: https://imgur.com/fRoZrQW.png

I have restarted my computer and it made an empty white window appear but nothing appeared. Closing and opening it after that gave the javascript error.

 

For others googling:

Uncaught Exception: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK]: Callback must be a function at maybeCallback (fs.js:129:9) at Object.writeFile (fs.js:1137:14) [...]

    For anyone that finds this on google:

    This is probably due to the fact that the systemd (root!) service of fortigate is not running.

    systemctl unmask forticlient.service

    systemctl enable forticlient.service

    systemctl start forticlient.service

     

    should fix it.
