The thread is marked as "SOLVED" but I did not understand how... sorry!
If somebody could help it would be great.
I'm using zorin 15.3 based on ubuntu 18.04 and I encountered the same terminal messages as in the topic listed above.
If you are getting the error that Cyberghost requires glibc 2.29, this is the fault of Cyberghost, not Ubuntu. They did not properly create the installation package and check the dependencies needed.
The supported glibc in Zorin OS 15.3 is 2.28.
You do at least have the option of installing Zorin OS 16 now that it has been released, however. It is using glib 2.31 .... Assuming that Cyberghost did not set the Ubuntu 20.04 version to have a higher dependency than it actually has as well.
No LSB modules are available.

Checking if glibc version is compatible
Couldn't detect a valid version of your distribution.
Make sure you have downloaded the correct install package for your distribution
Note: We support only the following distributions for Debian based OS:
When I contacted the cyberghost support, they told me that ubuntu 18.04 itself is supported, but not any ubuntu 18.04 based distro, because each one should need specific settings. I don't know if it makes sense, I'm not genius in tech stuff...
It doesn't make sense. Because it's wrong.
Cyberghost did not write an install script - they reused an existing one. It's an easy fix - if you know how to fix it. Each distro does not need different settings. Nor is there any reason why they should.
I know, I am knocking Cyberghost a lot here. Cough.
Anyway...
The template script they used merely calls on existing Distros instead of recognizing Base OS.
You cannot change that, but what you can do is modify the script to say "Zorin" instead of "Ubuntu" and then it will run.
The reverse is also true: You could change your own lsb_release file to say "Ubuntu" instead of "Zorin", and the installer would run all the same.
The downside is, I cannot seem to get my hands on the Installer, since I would have to buy it- and I need to look at the files in the installer in order to give you details of what to change and where to look...
Hello!
I'm really sorry it took me sooo long to answer you: I'm flight attendant and in the last 10 days they sent me all over europe to work. Finally back home!
Before leaving, I contacted cyberghost assistance asking if they could do something to help. Well... they have been "concise" and not very friendly, so I decided to unsubscribe.
On the windows computer at home we experience some connection issues using the vpn, too ...so... 1+1 = bye bye.
Apart from that, I really want to thank you for your help: very appreciated!
Have made the update to OS14.2.1 with my iMac (2020). Have downloaded the newest version of Cyberghost VPN (8.4.0-181) and installed it. When launching at some point the software stalls. The grey ghost appears on the menu-bar but no way to open it and ev change settings.
I have used CyberGhost for many years without major problems. Major problems came up since I have installed SONOMA on my iMac Retina 5K, 27 inch, 2019. However, today I manage to run CyberGhost doing the following:
I have installed CyberGhost on my iPad and on my iPhone for many years now. Usually CyberGhost runs quite smoothly. On the iPad you can always see if CyberGhost is active since "VPN" appears on the upper right corner. Careful you have to be with your iPhone since there the remark "VPN" does not always appear. For your security, use CyberGhost whenever you use an external WLAN.
I have the exact same system (2019 27" iMac) and configuration (sonoma) as you and I installed the latest cyberghostvpn app and nothing (seemed to have) happened when I tried to run it. I contacted cyberghost and eventually I got a list of things to do to remove it and reinstall the app: kill (two) running processes, run keychain access (util) and remove cyberghost, run the uninstaller app (which I had already acquired), (I was also supposed to login to their website and remove my mac from the list of active devices but it was not listed. and I was supposed to have unchecked "send anonymous data" from the app's settings menu but I only did this after the new install had already seemed to be working), restart mac and download their mac app from their website. This time when I ran the app (which should have been exactly equivalent to my first install which failed) the app opened as a skinny black menu descending from the top menu bar. It's remotely possible that the initial install and run "failed" because the app opened in the background instead of the foreground so I didn't see it - but I highly doubt it. It appears the Apple system control for connecting and disconnecting the vpn (from the top menu bar icon) doesn't always work (for cyberghostvpn) and there may be some difficulty in general connecting and disconnecting this vpn but I believe it is plenty functional.
The CyberGhost interface is very visual, making it incredibly easy-to-use for most people. By default, you'll see a world map where you'll see your approximate position. After enabling CyberGhost, the app will inform you that your connection is now secure, but you can see how it remains in the same place. If you want, though, you can also choose a different country to 'trick' your connection into 'believing' you're somewhere else.
The free version of CyberGhost gives you access to 23 servers in 15 different countries including Germany, Poland, Spain, France, the UK, and Luxembourg. The premium version of CyberGhost gives you access to nearly a dozen other countries and a whopping 300 additional servers.

Adding intrigue to the bug's discovery is the pains the researcher who discovered the vulnerability went through to disclose the flaw. The researchers, Ceri Coburn of UK-based security research firm Pen Test Partners, found the bug and said he felt bullied during the disclosure process with bug bounty firm Bugcrowd and the vendor.
In a blog post, Coburn said the CyberGhost VPN client is susceptible to an elevation of privilege vulnerability. Coburn says the vulnerability is filed under CVE-2023-30237, which is yet to be published. He said that the flaw impacts approximately 3 million CyberGhost customers. On its website, CyberGhost says it has over 38 million users.
The latest 8.3.10.10015 version of CyberGhost, released on the 24 February 2023 fixes this issue, according to the VPN company. It's unclear if the patch was pushed to endpoints running previous versions of the software or if customers need to update instances of the software themselves. Updates to the latest version of CyberGhost can be downloaded here.
As for the vulnerability Coburn described it as: A specially crafted JSON payload sent to the CyberGhost RPC (remote procedure call) service can lead to command line injection when the OpenVPN process is launched, leading to full system compromise."
Coburn said he had previously reported a separate CyberGhost issue to Bugcrowd, one of the largest bug bounty and vulnerability disclosure companies. That issue was deemed to be a configuration problem, which was subsequently fixed, rather than a security issue.
The disclosure of the vulnerability by Coburn was on January 3, 2023 to CyberGhost. The next day CyberGhost erroneously stated it had already addressed the bug. On March 1, CyberGhost said it was "in the process of rolling out the fix," according to Coburn's blog. On March 20, CyberGhost said "the fix was released on the 24th February 2023," according to Coburn.
When a connection request is made by CyberGhost, similar to other VPN services, to connect to a configured city or country via an unprivileged user interface, the details or data are sent to the backed service (MachineNameCyberGhost8Service) and a process (openvpn.exe or the wireguard DLL) is started to establish the underlying VPN connection, according to the post.

I have been using CyberGhost since May 2021. I am on a 3 year subscription. BEWARE that cyberghost does not work on Ubuntu versions above 20.04. I have written to the technical department and the reply was "Please don't worry since our developers are still improving our application for the Linux Operating system, and a possible app that will be compatible with all versions of Linux, might be released soon. Although, we can't provide an exact time frame when it will be released or implemented" I received this reply a year ago, and again when I enquired recently, and was given exactly the same answer.
