Because Internet messaging on mobile is more efficient than SMS, and I'm almost always on my keyboard, I had to install my mobile messaging app, Viber, on my newly set-up PC running Fedora 30.
After downloading, installing and running the app, I got a 'No Connection' when I try to register, even when connected to the Internet.
Running the executable on the terminal doesn't give any useful message.
Someone at bytefreaks.net (https://bytefreaks.net/applications/viber-desktop-on-fedora-27-64bit-viber-cannot-connect-to-the-internet-openssl-error) had a solution for an explicit SSL error message. I checked if the SSL library they needed existed in my Viber installation. It doesn't. So, I took it as a hint on the possible problem and tried their solution, which is to link the SSL library to Viber's lib folder.
# sudo ln -s
/usr/lib64/libssl
.so.10
/opt/viber/lib/libssl
.so
It worked!
