Ubuntu 19.04, libssl

[anton-johansson]

I upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04 the other day, and now I get this:

No usable version of the libssl was found
Error message: Connection request encountered an exception

Seems related to:
microsoft/azuredatastudio#5134
microsoft/vscode-python#5373
dotnet/vscode-csharp#3010

Copied from other forum: I'm on Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco), but what seems to work is installing the Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic) libssl1.0.0 package, even though it's older than the bundled Disco package, from the link below. However, I don't know if this will introduce any system instability or issues. And I don't know if this will work on Pop! OS. And because it's a manually installed package from a different OS version, that makes you responsible for maintaining and updating the package then removing it when no longer needed.

Thanks, @byroniac, that worked.

What I did:

$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu6_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu6_amd64.deb

Both versions are now installed, and everything works as expected.

They have dropped cosmic (18.10) packages since I posted that. You may try digging around on packages.ubuntu.com and see if you can find something else that will work for you, if you are having the problem. I am on 19.10 now but I have not even tried.

EDIT: there is a link above that may work for you, OTRF/Security-Datasets#22 and look at the comments.

EDIT 2: Scratch that. That particular file is not available. You can look at the directory itself, though. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/

I'm afraid we don't support 19.04. We support up to 16.04 and have started testing an 18.04 release.

use it from here it works somehow but unsure about security risks. Is there any potential risks?

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.0/libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.3_amd64.deb

Almost certainly with archived libssl files, I imagine. By definition, they are out of date.

Shrug; I do not know what to tell you. The file is outdated. You probably use it at your own risk. But for sure, get off of Ubuntu 19.04 if you are on that.
