Joulescope UI version >=0.9.0 creates compatibility issues on linux #95

Closed spica45 closed 4 years ago

spica45 commented 4 years ago

I had Joulescope UI version 0.8.16 running on my Ubuntu 18.04. The UI worked perfectly fine. But when I try launching Joulescope UI versions >=0.9.0 using the 'joulescope_launcher', it throws the following error:

[3903] Error loading Python lib '/home/hputaf/Downloads/joulescope_0_9_2/libpython3.8.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/hputaf/Downloads/joulescope_0_9_2/libpython3.8.so.1.0)

The earlier versions of Joulescope UI seems to have 'libpython3.6m.so.1.0'. Please note that GLIBC_2.29 is not available on 18.04, I will either have to get it compiled or upgrade my OS, both of which does not make sense to me. Could you please provide a solution ?

For the latest 0.9.2 release, we migrated from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. We looked into having better distributions using Flatpak (issue #79), but the dependencies make this difficult. For now, our recommendations are:

  1. Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  2. Install from pypi using pip3
  3. Run from source

I see issue #96 which is preventing (2) and (3), and I will address that next.
