glibc version

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

Required version of glibc in prebuilt packages is very high and it can`t run on many distros even they are updated.

I tryied all your linux packages, rpm deb and appimage.

when i run deb or rpm:
spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by spotube)
when i run appimage:

./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./spotube)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.35' not found (required by usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by usr/lib/libunwind.so.8)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by usr/lib/libunwind.so.8)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by usr/lib/libdw.so.1)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by usr/lib/libdw.so.1)
./spotube: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by usr/lib/libelf.so.1)

In such apps, using the highest version of glibc is useless.
The problem occurred because the compiler provided by your operating system selected the highest version of the glibc.
There are many ways to fix this problem, but the easiest way is to build on older operating systems

Expected Behavior

I`m using spotube for first time.

Steps to reproduce

At the beginning

Operating System

linux

Spotube version

2.7.0

Installation source

GitHub Releases (Binary)

I tried to build from source:

ERROR: No file or variants found for asset: .env.
ERROR: Target debug_bundle_linux-x64_assets failed: Exception: Failed to bundle asset files.

glibc error is exists in 2.7.1

[KRTirtho]

This only happens for Ubuntu < 22.04 and Debian < 12 (bookworm)
These versions of OS have older glibc but most distros have moved to newer versions of glibc
To support the newer versions of OS, Spotube will always be built on top of newer glibc versions

So for Ubuntu < 22.04 or Debian < 12 please use Flatpak as it sandboxes apps thus Spotube will get correct glibc version

[KRTirtho]

Closing as only ubuntu >= 22.04 and Debian >= 12 is supported for the .deb package

Problem does exist also for AppImage version, tried to run on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 (the latter is still supported by Canonical) and problem is the same:

$ ./Spotube-linux_3.1.1_x86_64.AppImage
./spotube: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./spotube)

./spotube: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by usr/lib/libresolv.so.2)

Something is wrong with this AppImage image.

Definitely problem could be easily solved by building on older distribution, not the latest one.

And for me as a linux user its more comfortable to download deb version which is ten times smaller and has better integration with my system.

[KRTirtho]

Building on older distro breaks appindicator & libsecret that's why newer distro

[AshutoshSajan]

getting the same error

[pepa65]

Sad that slightly older distros are no longer supported. I started with the AppImage, but it was built on a too new system, so GLIB_C/CLIBCXX_??? not found. Then I thought, I'll try the deb, which also doesn't work. And the binary distribution the same of course...

I think if you can build the AppImage on an older system, many more people would still be able to enjoy Spotube.

[KRTirtho]

I think Spotube eradicates this issue about compatibility with older systems by providing a Flatpak. Also, apps are built through a CI/CD pipeline, and they can only support a handful of versions of older OSs.

[evdcush]

Is the Spotube Flatpak supposed to work?

I have the latest 3.4.1.
