Unfortunately, after a Linux update/upgrade, I had to reinstall my hard drive and RealDash.
Previously, Armbian 11 Bullseye was installed.
Hardware:
- Radxa Rock 5B 8 GB,
- Samsung 970 Evo 256 GB NVMe,
- Radxa A8 WLAN card (RTL 8852 BE),
- 12.3-inch VSDisplay (HDMI)
The reinstallation with Armbian (25.11.0-trunk.38 trixie Release 13 | 6,1,115-vendor-rk35xx) went smoothly.
-
RealDash 2.5.8.1 or 2.5.9.1 (arm64.deb) installed, but wouldn’t open.
-
The RealDash icon is visible under the Graphics tab.
-
When attempting to start it, RealDash twitches briefly but doesn’t launch.
-
No error messages are displayed.
-
All previously known solutions for installing RealDash under Linux have been unsuccessful.
…
-
Only after running
realdash -debugtells me that libssl1.1 was missing. -
However, the attempt to install libssl1.1 via the terminal fails:
-
No installation candidate…
…
Newer Armbian/Debian systems from version Bookworm onwards all use only libssl3… - libssl1.1 is no longer available there.
…
This might affect many other Linux systems as well (some are also missing Lintian, for example)…
…
My workaround for Armbian 25.11.0-trunk.38 to get RD working anyway (this should also work on Debian 12 and later):
-
Download this .deb package (from Debian 11 Bullseye) =>
-
wget Index of /debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl
libssl1.1_1.1.1w-0+deb11u4_arm64.deb -
After downloading, open a terminal in your Downloads folder and enter the following to install: =>
-
sudo apt install libssl1.1_1.1.1w-0+deb11u4_arm64.deb
…
After that, I was able to start RD without any problems.
Perhaps this will also help others with RD installation under Linux…
…
Would it be possible to include the above .deb packages for arm64 in the RD installation package by default, so that future RD users on Linux can avoid lengthy and time-consuming troubleshooting?
