2.0.7 not working on Ububntu 18.04 based (Linux Mint)

Post by ShyLion »

Cannot launch after update to 2, binary says:

Code: Select all

$ .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio
.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio)
.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.30' not found (required by .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio)
I've tried downloading glibc-2.39 and compiling it manually, but then:

Code: Select all

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.39/lib; .local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio
.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio: relocation error: /home/lion/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/../../lib/libsteam_api.so: symbol dlsym version GLIBC_2.2.5 not defined in file libdl.so.2 with link time reference
anyone knows how to fix?

Hey thank you for your report. Unfortunately we don't support the glibc in ubuntu 18.04 with 2.0. We might be able to support it in a future update. For now your best course of action is to update to Ubuntu 20.04.

You are using an operating system that officially went out of support last year in May last year. Please upgrade. We will try to lower this requirement in the future but it is difficult for us to support outdated systems.

Hey,

I am getting an issue on docker with that.
I am trying with the image Ubuntu:24.04 and even like that factorio says that Glibc is missing, any ideas ?
