betty stops working on internet

[Aturnwald]

Hello to all.
since a couple of days I got an error in betty, when I ask betty how are you ? then comes this

aturnwald@aturnwald-X75VB:~$ betty how are you
Asking the internet...
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed
ing: error querying web service SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed

or, when I ask :
aturnwald@aturnwald-X75VB:~$ betty show me the city of london
Asking the internet...
SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed
ing: error querying web service SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed

So, please help me, because I find betty very funny and my child’s like it two, so what must I do

thanxxx a lot cu Toni

By the way, to all who have the same problems with betty and UBUNTU 16.04, here is the solution, thanx to seahawk.

Also in the file ~/betty/main.rb edit the following lins to :
where - is the old one
and + is that that should be insert

edit ~/.bettyconfig or say 'use web'

example: "betty what is the weather"

def web_query(command)

• require 'net/http'
• require 'net/https'
  encoded = URI.escape(command)
  chatmode = BettyConfig.get("chat")

so, that's all and betty would work as well.
