Not running under Ubuntu 18.04

[Akits]

Hi

I can't get pulseway to connect to the android app when it's running on my ubuntu 18.04 server. It worked just fine until I updated to U 18.04.
Has this occured to any one else? Is there an solution?

Hi there,

Can you check the syslog to see if there's anything logged that's relevant to the Pulseway daemon?

I'm having a similar problem after upgrading to Bionic Beaver (18.04) ... pulsewayd won't start. At first, after the upgrade, I was seeing this in the syslog:

Apr 26 19:38:34 nucleus pulseway[1006]: /usr/sbin/pulsewayd: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I downloaded the latest .deb and installed it over my existing install. pulsewayd still wouldn't start and now I'm seeing this:

Apr 26 21:19:52 nucleus pulseway[16794]: /usr/sbin/pulsewayd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/pulsewayd: undefined symbol: CRYPTO_num_locks

But now when I try to start it nothing happens and nothing appears in the syslog.

Any ideas on this?

Hi,

Currently the Pulseway agent doesn't support the libssl version 1.1. You will need to do the following:

1. Uninstall the Pulseway agent.
2. Replace libssl 1.1 with libssl 1.0.2 or older versions of libssl.
3. And finally, re-install the Pulseway agent.

Any plans on supporting the newer libssl? This seems like the same problem that prevents Pulseway from running on my Raspberry Pi as well (link). That's been a problem since September last year and it still doesn't work. Very disappointing.

I do have libssl 1.0.2 installed, by the way:

Hi there,

You need to change the symbolic link to point to the 1.0.0 versions instead of the 1.1 versions.

Any instructions on where to do this? Cant find any pointers on this...

[Paul]

Simply rename the old symbolic link using the:

Quote

mv oldFileName newFileName

command then create a new symbolic link using this command:

Quote

ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink

-Paul

[windracer]

Any chance on getting an updated version that works without all of these libssl hoops to jump through?

[Chris]

Hi @windracer

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately this is not on our immediate roadmap, therefore I don't have any ETA for this. 

[Ubuggeru]

I have two machines running bionic. On one the libraries keep re-St linking back to the 1.1 versions. Would appreciate knowledge no how to stop that happening.

Thanks

[Chris]

Hi Ubuggeru,

Thank you for contacting us. Please try to blacklist the package so it is not getting updated.

[windracer]

I finally got around to changing the libssl.so and libcrypto.ssl symlinks (to point to 1.0.0 versions of the files instead of 1.1) and the pulseway service started. It concerns me that maybe this could cause other security issues since I'm linking to older versions of the libraries, but I'll continue to monitor (heh) and see what happens.

[windracer]

I had to re-apply my symlink changes after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.10. So I'm still using the 1.0.0 versions of libssl.so and libcrypto.so to get Pulseway to run. Seems odd that switching to v1.1 wouldn't be on the roadmap.

[Paul]

We will support newer versions of libssl in the 6.1 release.

-Paul

[windracer]

Any idea on when 6.1 will be out for Linux?

[Manthey IT]

Same problem here.

 

When will 6.1 be released?

Waiting for months now... going to contact official support to escalate.

[MickH2007]

Any update on when 6.1 will be released?

Edit: Nevermind! My issue was unrelated and is now solved.
