`GLIBC_2.33' not found

[jecs]

Hi there.

I'm running into the following issue when running the latest strongbox executable from Releases:

$ strongbox 
./usr/bin/java: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_strongHJWheK/usr/bin/../lib/jli/libjli.so)

I believe that this can be caused by compiling using a newer glibc. Unfortunately a lot of LTS releases are still on 2.32. Any chance you'd be willing to compile using glibc-2.32 or should I consider upgrading my distro?

hey @jecs (and @Invalidnam3 ;), thanks for giving strongbox a go and opening a ticket, I had no idea it was failing on an LTS release.

Without any details to go on I'm going to assume you're on a Ubuntu LTS, either 18.04 or 20.04 running a regular DE like Gnome or KDE. I've been able to replicate the problem on Ubuntu 20.04.

First off, strongbox isn't compiling like you might think. It is bundled into a single AppImage distributable and I think there is some extra magic I could be doing to make this work for you. While I figure that out, could you let me know if the .jar version works for you? You'll need Java 11 installed. The package name is the same in the latest two LTS releases:

# apt install openjdk-11-jre
$ java -jar strongbox-4.1.0-standalone.jar

I've confirmed this works on Ubuntu 20.04.

If you're still having problems, confirm you're using the right version of java with java -version.

You can switch between installations with # update-alternatives --config java

I'm able to use the java standalone client with no issue, I had the problem in Pop OS 20.10 which is Ubuntu based.

I've uploaded a version of strongbox built on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine to the 4.1.0 release:

https://github.com/ogri-la/strongbox/releases/download/4.1.0/strongbox-4.1.0-2 https://github.com/ogri-la/strongbox/releases/download/4.1.0/strongbox-4.1.0-2.sha256

Could you give it a shot and let me know if it works for you guys? You'll still need to chmod +x it.

The AppImage works for me now, thanks for the help :+1:

@torkus, you were right on the money. I am on Ubuntu 18.04. And the binary that you uploaded works like a charm. Thank you very much!

I can tell you it doesn't work on OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 with the same error.

Did you try the new executable under Releases? https://github.com/ogri-la/strongbox/releases/download/4.1.0/strongbox-4.1.0-2

thanks guys, much appreciated.

I can tell you it doesn't work on OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 with the same error.

@Lanecc-CITLab , could you double check which version you used for me?

[torkus]

4.2.0 has just been released and was built on Ubuntu 18.04 like the 4.1.0-2 release that seemed to work for people.

If anyone finds they have a similar problem in future, please open a ticket with the name and version of your distribution. I won't know it's breaking otherwise.

Thanks everyone for their help, closing this.
