Viber: no connection – qt.network.ssl: Incompatible version of OpenSSL

By | 02/27/2019
 

On a fresh Arch Linux setup – Viber starting, but during authorization – can’t connect to the network.

In general – Viber’s desktop version is really limited but anyway it’s better then use it from a cell.

Tried to google few times as I didn’t found the error in messages to use exactly in google’s search., but finally – found it.

All errors look like next:

Solution #1 (didn’t worked)

The first I googled was to fix the libssl.so library path as suggested here>>>.

Check file itself:

[simterm]

$ ls -l /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 585328 Nov 20 19:41 /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1

[/simterm]

Create the symlink:

[simterm]

22:52:01 [setevoy@setevoy-arch-pc ~]   
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1 /opt/viber/lib/libssl.so

[/simterm]

Run Viber – won’t work, same errors.

Solution #2 (didn’t work)

The next I found was discussion here>>> where the pulseaudio was mentioned, which is in the Viber’s dependencies but it wasn’t installed during Viber’s set up.

Install it:

[simterm]

$ sudo pacman -S pulseaudio

[/simterm]

Reboot PC, run Viber – still nothing.

There is also the pulseaudio-git package – let’s try it:

[simterm]

...
==> Install or build missing dependencies for pulseaudio-git:
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: jack2-dbus and jack are in conflict. Remove jack? [y/N] 
...

[/simterm]

What is the jack2-dbus?

Check it description here>>> – looks like nothing critical, if any – pacman/yay would say it.

Remove pulseaudio:

[simterm]

$ sudo pacman -Rsn pulseaudio
checking dependencies...
:: firefox optionally requires pulseaudio: Audio support
:: phonon-qt5 optionally requires pulseaudio: PulseAudio support
:: phonon-qt5-gstreamer optionally requires pulseaudio: PulseAudio support
:: polybar optionally requires pulseaudio: pulseaudio module support

Total Removed Size:  6.75 MiB

:: Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]

[/simterm]

Install pulseaudio-git:

[simterm]

$ yaourt -S pulseaudio-git
...
delete :: jack2-dbus and jack are in conflict. Remove jack? [y/N] y
...
:: pulseaudio-git and libpulse are in conflict. Remove libpulse? [y/N]

[/simterm]

Agree, remove them, run Viber – and again the same errors…

Solution #3 (“It works!”)

What is with libraries at all?

Check with the ldd:

[simterm]

$ ldd /opt/viber/Viber 
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd2b346000)
        libXss.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXss.so.1 (0x00007f5e3a0ca000)
        libqrencode.so => /opt/viber/lib/libqrencode.so (0x00007f5e39eb9000)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f5e39e26000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00007f5e39c14000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00007f5e39ad5000)
...

[/simterm]

All good, all found…

And only here I noticed the qt.network.ssl: Incompatible version of OpenSSL line in Viber’s messages, which led me to this>>> discussion.

Install the openssl-1.0:

[simterm]

$ sudo pacman -S openssl-1.0

[/simterm]

Run Viber – and it works now!

Just – right after successful connection and authorization – Viber went down with the new error:

[simterm]

...
PulseAudioService: pa_context_connect() failed
PulseAudioService: pa_context_connect() failed
Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:108, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting.
Aborted (core dumped)

[/simterm]

To solve it – I restored the “common” pulseaudio:

[simterm]

$ sudo pacman -S pulseaudio
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: pulseaudio and pulseaudio-git are in conflict. Remove pulseaudio-git? [y/N] y

Packages (3) libpulse-12.2-2  pulseaudio-git-v12.0.269.gdb788229c-1 [removal]  pulseaudio-12.2-2
...

[/simterm]

Run it as a daemon:

[simterm]

$ pulseaudio -D

[/simterm]

Start Viber again:

[simterm]

$ viber 
Qt WebEngine ICU data not found at /opt/viber/resources. Trying parent directory...
Qt WebEngine resources not found at /opt/viber/resources. Trying parent directory...

[/simterm]

And all works now.
