Glibc 2.38 required and not found on Debian Bookworm

Hello,

Tried installing this on Debian 12, but am getting the error that I lack Glibc 2.38.

I may try updating my glibc's but my understand is that can be hairy.

Thanks,

Sebastian

I have a very similar issue on PopOs LTS

You guys will need to move to a newer version of your respective operating systems

Or build it from source. It would be nice if GitHub actions offered Debian runners instead of ubuntu

Hi. At the time that I posted this, I was on the latest version of Debian 12, a recommended OS on the Chultrabook pages. I haven't played with it for a bit, so I can try updating and see. I'm a newbie Linux user, so not ready to use a more cutting edge Linux OS's.

In terminal try

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

On the offical package tracker, debian packages, it is shown that the latest version is 2.38-12.1. Your install is most likely out of date

Hi, Thanks. I tried that at the time. When I get around to fooling around with that laptop again we'll see.

Please post the output of

lsb_release -a

When you start using your laptop again

$ sudo lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release: 12
Codename: bookworm

Thanks

Try upgrading to 12.5 using sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi. death764,

I installed a couple months ago with 12.5. Here's the output from your command:

@death7654 that will not help, Debian stable is on glibc v2.36

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=glibc+&searchon=names&suite=bookworm&section=all

what needs to be done is to figure out if GitHub actions can compile for an older version of glibc, since they don’t have Debian runners (for some reason)

Tauri 2.0 will require ubuntu 22.04 which has glibc version 2.38

Can we test on a Debian machine? I can set you up a vm with remote access if you really need one for building and testing - though, not a chromebook. At that point just use a live usb lol

Glibc (normally) depends on where the app is compiled, and we don't even support Ubuntu on Chromebooks. It's unlikely it won't work on Debian

With Debian being one of the most beginner friendly distros nowadays, it's a vital operating system to support

The thing is tauri 2.0 requires glib 2.38, which is 2 higher than the version currently on debian. I doubt the app will compile if it does not meet requirements.

You said “Tauri 2.0 will require ubuntu 22.04 which has glibc version 2.38“. Does it specify it needs glibc 2.38, or are you assuming it needs it since it needs Ubuntu 22.04 or higher

Im assuming based on tauri requiring a minimum ubuntu 22.04.

https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-action

It can be found in the example code in the link above

Have you tried compiling it on Debian 12?

I do not have a runner for that

I can test it in a vm. Will notify with the results

Yes, as I said it most definitely does work in debian 12

One major todo with version 3.x is that the app will crash if it attempts to execute any commands which dont exist. If ectool isnt in path, it will exit with no error message.

Chrultrabook-Tools/src-tauri/src/execute.rs

Line 34 in 64ed331

.unwrap()

Im actually happy webkit isnt destroying the apps looks like it is on macOS

Now that I think about it - this is likely possible if we chroot a Debian stable install and build there
