@NeHo getting this error after updating,

node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

tried many things but seems like ubuntu 18 not working with latest nodejs and npm, if i downgrade to node 14 version and npm 8 version this error fixed but after updating how to fix it?

[NeHo]

@danishrana49 try this pls

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

after removed this

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

You got that error because node which is built for different ubuntu version was installed

[danishrana49]

@danishrana49 still getting same error after this solution.

node -v
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node) npm -v node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

[danishrana49]

@NeHo used same version of ubuntu before, and it works but not working now.

[NeHo]

@SMiLeY you can try, when ever there is a new version I have to update some dependencies to make it work, you can always roll back to previous version. Sometimes new versions break the application if I didn't update some dependencies, it depends what is changed, I will try to update the code from time to time

[NeHo]

@NeHo instead nodejs remove node

sudo apt-get remove node

try after that

[danishrana49]

@NeHo sudo apt-get remove node

[NeHo]

@danishrana49 try this pls

nvm install --lts
nvm alias default 16

[NeHo]

Problem is I only use the latest node version on my local machine, I have multiple websites in node so I would have to update them all to test it out on my ubuntu server

[danishrana49]

@NeHo still getting this error
node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by node)

[SMiLeY]

@danishrana49 did you install nvm on your machine as NeHo said above?

You got the issue because node version is not compatible. You are using 18.04 and I remember the error from when I used it. You can see my versions below. (I use 20.04) They are older but the webadmin works fine. I will make an attempt to update those versions and hope it does not break the app.

smiley@fmjcod4:~$ npm -v
6.14.15
smiley@fmjcod4:~$ node -v
v14.17.3

Try rolling back to these versions and see how it is? I am not expert but worth a try maybe.

@danishrana49 Ye i know about nvm, and its installed in my machine, however i downgraded from 16 to 14 as you tell me,
but now i am getting this error

@danishrana49 How did you get on with things?

I updated to latest npm and nodejs using 20.04 lts and still working ok.

Now using node v18.12.1 (npm v8.19.2)

When I have restarted the app it reverts back to v14.17.3 automatically.

[danishrana49]

@SMiLeY All fixed now, @NeHo helped me alot in errors. it was my server issue. he fixed things and panel is working fine now.

[SMiLeY]
