Glibc_2.34 ?

[GregM]

Trying to install an update to a program I have been running.
I keep getting this error message......
/installer: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./installer)

What am I doing wrong?

What are you trying to install, exactly? Links?
Ubuntu 22.04 has glibc 2.35
For some reason this thing wants an older version, which usually means it was built for older Linux versions. Something newer than Ubuntu 20.04 and older than 22.04.

[GregM]

Trying to do an upgrade on a program called PixInsight.
I guess I installed 22.04 on this desktop, but not the one in the observatory. Out there I am still running 20.04
So I guess I need to read up on installing 22.04.
Just hoping I can do that upgrade without losing a bunch of expensive data.

You might see if they offer different downloads that might be compatible?

Otherwise, if you need that software upgrade for PixInsight, and an OS upgrade is desired, that is not difficult, though may need to be started manually, The Kubuntu parts of Ubuntu 20.04 did reach EOL last year, but the OS itself still has the Ubuntu 5 year lifespan. Not sure if the upgrade prompt works or not, if enabled in the Software Sources tool, but it can be manually started from the cli - to open the GUI tool.

But of course, upgrading is not 100% foolproof. Data can be copied/backed up, then restored after a fresh install, or a failed upgrade.
Still, a bit of work, especially if you have a lot of data and customized install.

I have the Kubuntu 22.04 install disk. Is there a way to do an upgrade from 20.04 from that?
If not is there a terminal command that will upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04?

No it is not possible.

If not is there a terminal command that will upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04?

Three ways to do the same thing:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ja...ubuntu#Upgrade.
Since you haven't seen the upgrade prompt, I suggest using krunner (alt-f2 or alt-space) and use the command provided to start the gui upgrade.
If that doesn't work, let us know any messaging you see.
In this case you may need to add a -d before the -m to 'force' it to start. I don't know if they turn off upgrade statuses on an Ubuntu derivative once it becomes EOL, or anything like that, so this could be a needed step.

Does this tell you anything?

Yes, your google earth repo needs its security key updated
https://support.google.com/earth/thr...ed-again?hl=en

Then you should be able to update, then upgrade.

Another thing to note is that the PPA you added for nutty will be disabled as part of the upgrade process. The upgrade tool iirc will tell you this.

Thanks
On that machine I would just as soon remove Google Earth.
Is there a terminal command to do that?

Side note: an alternative to Google Earth from KDE is Marble (see https://marble.kde.org/index.php).

Use discover or muon to uninstall it.
Then delete the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that mentions Google Earth in the name. Or disable it in your software sources tool.

Then update your system and try the upgrade again
It looks like my suggestion to add the -d won't work here. Hopefully the normal one works.

[GregM]

It looks like I have gotten rid of Google Earth. Now when I run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I get this.....

Assuming that you get the same errors as before when trying to start the upgrade?
