... this is not the only project that has moved on from the older pc's and I don't blame them I'm just commenting
Older PCs, like this one?

So, I recompiled BOINC, but no dice. All sse2 tasks are still failing in about one second. E.g.,

http://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/result.php?resultid=327113407

I guess it's 64-bit A@H only for me... My four 32-bit boxes will have to stick to Milkyway, Einstein, and Rosetta.

Since my last post, I've gone ahead and tried updating GLIBC to version 2.30 on a couple of my 32-bit boxes and that has seemed to work like a charm: they're computing now without error.

UPDATE: The "standard" version (102.13) tasks are "computing now without error." However, the "sse2" versions are still failing in about 1 second, with a different message:

<message>

Exiting...


(And I didn't have to recompile BOINC.)

On the initial post, we can see "/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found" so it didn't found the version 2.28, at least, this is why I said that, ...

Gotcha. Thanks for the response. (Sorry I missed that in the OP's error message.)

Unless this is not a critical machine (and even if not critical by the way) NEVER EVER try to update/upgrade such a package, you'll, most of the time, broke your whole system.

No problems with any of my other software, so far. Which isn't very much, honestly. These are old stripped down rigs, running headless, with a minimal O.S.--just a kernel and enough packages installed for basic CLI system admin, networking, and to compile BOINC client from source. I.e., they'll do nothing but crunch until they've expired! ;)

If I'm not wrong, Ubuntu 18.04 use GLIBC version 2.27, this would explain your error.

I'm experiencing the same problem. You suggest it may be due to the GLIBC version. If so, what version of GLIBC is required?

It seems strange, as all of my machines have the same GLIBC (v2.23): but the 64-bit machines process A@H work flawlessly, while all the 32-bit boxes error out every A@H task in about 1 second.

Follow-up question: is it sufficient to simply upgrade my GLIBC package, or would I also need to re-compile BOINC afterwards?
