version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /var/lib/snapd/lib/gl/libEGL.so.1) on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with Nvidia

[Linus Kardell]

I'm trying to run the qalculate snap on openSUSE Tumbleweed, however I get `qalculate-gtk: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /var/lib/snapd/lib/gl/libEGL.so.1)`. The same snap however runs correctly on a different system with the same OS.

The main difference I can find is that the system where it doesn't work has Nvidia graphics, and uses libEGL.so.1 from the host (but glibc 2.27 from a base snap), while the system where it works has AMD graphics.

Same issue for acestreamplayer: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/acestreamplayer-mpv-stopped-to-work-glibc-error/23061?u=aleksey

[Linus Kardell (linagkar)]

I am guessing this sort of thing is the reason flatpak has the org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-* runtimes, rather than using the host libraries.

[AlekseyK (tantrido)]

Any solution on this?

Still a problem on 17/08/21

From what I can tell it's breaking multiple packages.

Having the same issue on Manjaro with NVIDIA drivers when installing "maas" from snap.

I can confirm that I'm experiencing this issue with another snap package, retroarch.

I'm also got affected by this issue.

[Artem Stepaniuk (faulknercs)]

I have the same error as above with telegram app after it's been updated to 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 21.10 (Although it works on 20.04):

[Oleg (olegackbar)]

Can confirm this bug on Kubuntu 21.10 while trying to run Telegram and Moonlight. Uninstalling Nvidia driver fixes the bug.

[Denis Gorelov (mrdenai)]

Same problem with Telegram (.deb works for me).
My notebook have AMD CPU with integrated graphics and Nvidia GPU, nvidia-driver-470-server, ubuntu 21.10

[Mika Mäki (agenttix)]

I have the same problem with the Telegram 3.2.0 snap on Kubuntu 21.10. I have Radeon VII as my primary GPU with the upstream amdgpu driver, but also a GTX Titan as my secondary GPU for CUDA with the Nvidia driver 470.82.01 (CUDA 11.4).

A fix was proposed by James in https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/11023

[Maciej Borzecki (maciek-borzecki)]

I've pushed out 2.53.4 with cherry picked fix for Arch and openSUSE. Fedora builds are still in progrss, but I should be able to push out the update today.
