I was having some issues with SSL connections. It turns out OpenSSL was using libraries provided by Dell which caused compatability issues.
While trying to attach Ubuntu Pro, I encountered:
user@host:~$sudo pro attach *********************
Failed to connect to authentication server
Check your Internet connection and try again.
And while trying to initialize Waydroid I encountered an SSL error message. I knew nothing was wrong with my network or the hosts I was trying to reach.
So I read in another thread to try a few commands to diagnose and debug SSL issues, and namely this one gave me some useful debugging info
user@host:~$sudo c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs
Doing /etc/ssl/certs
/usr/bin/openssl: /opt/dell
/usr/bin/openssl: /opt/dell/dcc/libcrypto.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.0.3' not found (required by /usr/bin/openssl)
(this message on the above line repeated numerous times)
I then checked this per a recommendation I received.
user@host:~$ openssl version
openssl: /opt/dell/dcc/libcrypto.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.0.3' not found (required by openssl)
So there is an error related to a library provided by Dell. I have a Dell Latitude 5420.
I checked the library path to see where the libcrypto.so.3 library is being loaded from. Used the ldd command to inspect the dependencies of the openssl binary:
ubuntu@laptop-ubuntu22-04:~$ ldd /usr/bin/openssl
/usr/bin/openssl: /opt/dell/dcc/libcrypto.so.3: version `OPENSSL_3.0.3' not found (required by /usr/bin/openssl)
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe945e0000)
libssl.so.3 => /opt/dell/dcc/libssl.so.3 (0x00007fda47637000)
libcrypto.so.3 => /opt/dell/dcc/libcrypto.so.3 (0x00007fda47000000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fda46c00000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fda47632000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fda4762d000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fda477f9000)
My output from ldd /usr/bin/openssl confirms that the OpenSSL binary is linking to the OpenSSL libraries provided by Dell in /opt/dell/dcc/. It seems that these libraries are not compatible with the expected version of OpenSSL.
To resolve this issue, I chose to make use of the system's OpenSSL libraries instead of the Dell-provided ones.
I removed the Dell-provided OpenSSL Libraries since they are causing conflicts, moving them to a backup copy folder to prevent them from being used by the system.
sudo mv /opt/dell/dcc /opt/dell/dcc_backup
After making directory changes, I updated the system's library cache to reflect the changes:
sudo ldconfig
However, I was still having SSL issues.
Checked my /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf config file to check for conflicts - none found.
So I reinstalled OpenSSL
sudo apt install --reinstall openssl
And updated my SSL certificate store
sudo update-ca-certificates
But still had errors and tried this
sudo update-ca-certificates --fresh
After all of this I was able to attach Ubuntu Pro and not have SSL issues in Waydroid. I don't anticipate further SSL issues I surely would have eventually uncovered also.
I did have to reinstall Waydroid to get it to work right. Thankfully it was my first time using it so I had nothing to lose. Looking back, perhaps I could just have stopped and restarted the Waydroid service.
Hopefully sharing this can help someone else out with a similiar issue...
