@henkesteen: thanks for reporting this issue!

@Priya91: assigning to you for further investigation

@henkesteen Can you confirm if .NET Core is supported and works on your Linux distro? Liveshare uses .NET core, please try using liveshare from one of the supported Linux distros.

I actually have 2 computers with Solus installed. One MacBook Pro and the other one is an Acer laptop.
On my MacBook, liveshare works like a charm, but on the other one, I got this error.

@henkesteen From your logs, looks like the native libssl lib pointers are different from what .net core expects. I've filed issue https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/37815

[Priya91]

Since this issue is external to dotnetcore, closing this bug. The tagged issue on dotnet core should have the solution

@Priya91
Hi again!
I think I found the solution to this.
Posted in https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/37815
If this is the solution, maybe the Live Share Solus Linux documentation should be updated
