the same error with 3.x versions..
As I understood, the problem that RVM cant work with the openssl v3. So I installed the v1 version of openssl and compiled ruby with the old version

installing the openssl v1

$ cd /usr/local/src/
$ sudo wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1s.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xf openssl-1.1.1s.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.1.1s
$ sudo ./config --prefix=/usr/local/ssl --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl shared zlib
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo rmdir certs
$ sudo ln -sf /etc/ssl/certs/ certs

installing ruby

$ rvm install 3.1.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl

I hope it will help

As this repository is dedicated to the Ubuntu installer, and this is a rvm issue, I'll close it. In the case you need more help, please, open it (or check if there is any related issue) in the rvm repository.

@fsdevblog Thanks for raising this and to find a solution!

Optionally, you could install the openssl v1 provided with the PPA: sudo apt install openssl1.0

I tried before opening the issue

Thanks! Ruby installed! Now I have problem with bundle install:

$ bundle -v

$ bundle install

@raelgc , can you reopen the issue?

[MikkelRBech]

The openssl you've compiled does not have access to the CA certificates. Symlink the certs/ dir to /etc/ssl/certs then it will work.

@fsdevblog Thanks for raising this and to find a solution!

Optionally, you could install the openssl v1 provided with the PPA: sudo apt install openssl1.0

E: Unable to locate package openssl1.0
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'openssl1.0'

[raelgc]

@diogeneshas The package is available only if you added the PPA, but it'll not help on this case, as the required version is 1.1

Issue on parent repo: rvm/rvm#5209

[raelgc]

@fsdevblog I just updated your solution to use openssl1.1 version n (instead of version c) and added steps to link to /etc/ssl/certs.

[raelgc]

Ok, finally I've backported openssl1.1 to 22.04 for those using the PPA.

You want, after sudo apt update, downgrade packages with:

sudo apt install libssl-dev=1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.4  openssl=1.1.1l-1ubuntu1.4

@raelgc Thanks for the tip, it worked well for me 👍

[DGaffney]

Great work here - thank you!

Is there any way to block libssl-dev and openssl from updating? Because they are always updated and it is necessary to keep downgrading again!

[raelgc]

@mpetri-wert, 3 possible solutions:

Hold upgrade using apt

Warning: This can lead to some problems during upgrade. Run at your own risk!

Hold a package: sudo apt-mark hold <package-name>
Remove the hold: sudo apt-mark unhold <package-name>
Show all packages on hold: sudo apt-mark showhold

Use local SSL source

Use the above solution in comment #67 (comment) (I keep updating it to point to the latest SSL 1.1.1 build)

Upgrade to Ruby 3.1.3

Few days ago I've built and uploaded a binary for Ruby 3.1.3, which appears to works fine in Ubuntu 22.04. Try the default install command: rvm install 3.1.3.

[hurricup]

a little correction to the script above. it should be:

$ sudo rmdir /usr/local/ssl/certs
$ sudo ln -sf /etc/ssl/certs/ /usr/local/ssl/certs

[duaneking]

with all the respect possible this defect was not fixed before it was closed as I'm still not able to install Ruby 2.6.2 on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
