I tested this guide, which is great, but it didn't work!

Error: "srun: error: task 0 launch failed: Plugin initialization failed"

I think Tim Schneider's reply here is related to the issue somehow: https://groups.google.com/g/slurm-users/c/48ug43MPov0

"Ubuntu 22 does not support cgroups v1 anymore. At the same time, the slurm-wlm package in the Ubuntu repositories uses cgroups v1, which makes its task/cgroup plugin incompatible with Ubuntu 22.

My solution was to build Slurm 22.05 manually, while ensuring that libdbus-1-dev is installed (as otherwise cgroups v2 support does not get built). This takes a bit more time but seems to work so far."

@oabuhamdan I had similar error and I did following to solved. I have changed proctrack/cgroup to proctrack/linuxproc. I am not sure if this is right thing to do or not. what are the advantage of using cgroup? 

ProctrackType=proctrack/linuxproc
JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux
