Ubuntu 22.04 LTS was released 21 April 2022. Is there any update on this? What does 22H2 mean? For planning purposes for business working to various security standards and certifications, a fixed and reliable release date or period or schedule is essential.
The reason is, because EEA for Linux needs quite old libssl and libcrypto libraries. Checking with strace you will find that EEA for instance checks for libraries in /opt/eset/eea/lib before using the globally installed libraries. My workaround is as follows:

Of course there is no guarantee that this will work for ever and hopefully ESET will officially support Fedora in the future (at least this is the minimum I expect as a customer who used NDO32 before for years and who was forced to upgrade to EEA...). However for now the workaround runs perfectly for me.
On Ubuntu 20.04, ESET appears to be picking up the system installed openssl libraries, which are at 1.1.1f, and given that this is an LTS release, ought to be patched for known vulnerabilities. It appears that you have installed version 1.0.2o. If you look back from version 1.1.1 in the openssl release notes, you'll note that a large number of security vulnerabilities and bugs were addressed between 1.0.2o and 1.1.1f. By using a much older version of the libraries than appears to be required, you might be opening up your system to security vulnerabilities, so I am not sure this is wise.
It is true, however, that Ubuntu 22.04 comes with a newer version of the openssl libraries, 3.0.2. It seems likely that the current release of ESET does not support this version of openssl, and that may be a problem. It's possibly not the only issue though.
Fedora comes accross with libssl 1.1.1q and 3.0.5. ESET fails to use 1.1.1q. However if one does not like to use the quite old compat version 1.0.20 for security reasons, the version 1.1.1k shipped with REL8/CENTOS8/OL8 does work as well. As REL8 is officially supportet by ESET, this might be the preferred solution.
It is impossible... Ubuntu already sent to users suggestion to update to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.... When you guys provide us support to this version? I paid for the crossplatform antivirus system, but now I need to think what to buy next time, because I have a lot of ubuntu workstations...
Support for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is planned to be added to Endpoint 9.1 preliminary scheduled for release in 22H2. If it's a problem for you, I'd suggest contacting the license seller for a refund if you have purchased the license recently.
I fail to understand why ESET are able to support Macs and Windows almost as soon as a new version is out (i.e. Windows 11, macOS 12) yet Linux are being neglacted and left behind.
Can you please escalate that to the Product team?
Also, FYI - tried installing manually received a note that it fails due to some linux headers missing (dependancies) (Ubuntu 22.04.1)
Luckily apt install -f fixed that (it installed all missing dependancies + eea)
As I typed the forum went to maintenance.
I tried that, but the installation failed for the same reason (so it wasn't effective as I noticed that.
I suggest you give it a whirl for me, and see how it works.
the problem here is that a manual dpkg -i of the .deb file and then apt install -f (without any dependancies, it'll do everything on its own) - done the trick for me, maybe for you too.. depends on what it fails I suppose
