[Solved] libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file

[emek]

Hi,

I have a Dell system with Debian 12. I'm using command-configure to set a limit on the battery level. For some reason, recently it stop working. Since I also faced the same problem once when I was using Debian 11, I tried to reinstall the software provided by Dell website:

Code: Select all

srvadmin-hapi_9.5.0_amd64.deb
command-configure_4.10.0-595.ubuntu18_amd64.deb

However, now when I'm trying to use the software I get an error about a library:

Code: Select all

/opt/dell/dcc/cctk: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think that the problem is that this library was deprecated. Anyway, I find this link from Dell forum when the last user says:

May be of use to someone: as mentioned earlier, DCC 4.10 relies on libcrypto.so.1.1 which is a part of an obsolete version of libcrypto which is not bundled in most distributions anymore. If you don't already have it, but have something like wine or proton installed, you can copy their version of this file, ( cp or ln it to e.g., /usr/lib ) -- Tested on Debian12

Even though I have Wine I didn't find the library on my installation folder, but I did found it on Matlab folder (or I think is the same). So I created a symbolic link with:

Code: Select all

 
 ln /usr/local/MATLAB/R2023a/bin/glnxa64/libcrypto.so.1 /usr/lib
 mv /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1
 

and now I'm getting another error about:

Code: Select all

/opt/dell/dcc/cctk: /lib/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_1' not found (required by /opt/dell/dcc/cctk)
/opt/dell/dcc/cctk: /lib/libcrypto.so.1.1: version `OPENSSL_1_1_0' not found (required by /opt/dell/dcc/cctk)

So obviously, that didn't workout. What I can do to get to the library?
PS: I don't know if this is the right place to ask, so I hope it is.

I do that by modifying /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_control_{start,end}_threshold — do you have those for your Dell?

In respect of the shared object problem: don't symlink or copy system libraries. Request that Dell rebuild their .deb packages or provide the source.

I don't. And when I'm trying to create them I got this message (I've tried with sudo):

Code: Select all

[ Error writing lock file /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/.charge_start_threshold.swp: Permission denied ]

In respect of the shared object problem: don't symlink or copy system libraries. Request that Dell rebuild their .deb packages or provide the source.

If I request from Dell, will take too much time for me, so I'm looking for a workaround for now. When you say provide the source, do you mean the package? If so, tthis is the link where I got the software from Dell.

Thanks!

when I'm trying to create them I got this message

/sys/ is a kernel interface so it can only be modified in certain ways. In this case, if the files aren't there then your motherboard does not offer an interface recognised by the kernel.

When you say provide the source, do you mean the package?

No, I mean the source code from which the Ubuntu package was built. If we had that the binary could be recompiled so that it needs the correct libraries.

I get it! However, I don't think that I can either find or provide that because of copyright. So the only option is to ask in Dell forum for them to correct the package?

Thanks!

Edit: I found a workaround here.
It will be safe to try to install the package?
Is listed in here however, I check that in the current stable distribution, the package is not listed.

[Head_on_a_Stick]

If the package can be installed then I think it should be fine. Probably best to use the latest version though:

https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main ... _amd64.deb

It works without problem.

Thanks for your help!
