Dealing with libssl error installing Rstudio on Ubuntu 24.0.1

[lloydbrodsky]

Is the current version of Rstudio server for Ubuntu still using the legacy libssl1*?
Got an error message about missing dependencies while executing your installation instructions. I gather that libssl3* is what's current in Ubuntu.

To get Rstudio working should I just install the older libssl dependences or is there another version of Rstudio I should be downloading?

Here's the releant section of my console log:
sudo gdebi rstudio-server-2024.12.0-467-amd64.deb
/usr/bin/gdebi:113: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\S'
c = findall("[(/\S+)]", msg)[0].lower()

I got a similar error and fixed it by adding the " ~" to the front of the file path.

sudo gdebi ~/path to/file.deb

On the download page, they list versions of RStudio server for Ubuntu 20, 22 and 24. Did you select the Ubuntu 24 version? The default is Debian 11/Ubuntu 20.

Thanks folks. This was my bad. I didn't notice step one (choose OS) defaulted to older versions of Debian/Ubuntu not the current one. Cleaning up and making the right choice solved the problem.
