I've got a brand new HP Probook 430. Debian 8.3 stable was not able to meet requirements of new hardware. So I've upgraded to Debian testing (Stretch) and put a new kernel as well - 4.3. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting + https://scottlinux.com/2013/11/23/how-to-install-newer-kernel-from-debian-wheezy-backports/

I've installed a proper driver for wifi - iwlwifi. I've a connection with a cable as well. Both cases - 50 Mbps nice Internet.

I've downloaded and installed successfully Viber 64 bit. I can start it and type my mobile number. At the next screen I've a notice: "An Internet connection is required to activate your Viber account. Check your connection and try again".

I've a PC with Debian 8.3 running Viber successfully. Both computers are connected to my router. PC - with a cable, laptop - with wifi n.

I've same Viber problem when I connect my laptop with a cable.

Any suggestions?

Best, Simeon

Found a solution:

Download the following certificates

Place them in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates

run sudo update-ca-certificates

Placing certs in /usr/local/share/ca-certificates and running the script didn't work for me on Debian testing x64...

I only needed https://www.thawte.com/roots/thawte_Premium_Server_CA.pem

Downloaded it and copied/renamed as /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/thawte_Premium_Server_CA.crt (needs to be .crt to be recognised). After that I did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates" when asked if I trust new certs I said yes, and then explicitly enabled thawte-Premium_Server_CA which resulted in:

    root@hvulin:/etc# dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

For me the solution was to install libssl1.0-dev. I did sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev but this didn't help me.

Installing libssl1.0-dev did the trick.

for fedora:

sudo dnf install openssl openssl-devel
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10 /opt/viber/lib/libssl.so

see: https://bytefreaks.net/applications/viber-desktop-on-fedora-27-64bit-viber-cannot-connect-to-the-internet-openssl-error for an explanation

btw i had this problem and i downloaded ibssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb from link: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libssl1.0.0 and installed and then again installed viber

after downloading ibssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb

and get into the file directory you put the downloaded file and type ls then type dpkg -i like this

dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u7_amd64.deb then go back to the file directory where the viber.deb file is then type ls then type dpkg -i like this dpkg -i viber.deb

then good to go hope you got your error fixed
