Forticlient blank screen Ubuntu 18.04

Followed the instructions to install from https://www.forticlient.com/repoinfo and also tried installing directly from the .deb file at https://www.forticlient.com/downloads. In both cases, whenever I launch the app, the screen is blank. Launching from the commandline, all I see are 2 lines:

Starting FortiTray Platform detected: ubuntu

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, to check whether the Forticlient service is UP & running


# systemctl status forticlient.service

 

If it is stopped, you can try to start it with following command.


# systemctl start forticlient.service

 

regards,
