`GLIBC_2.28' not found running 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 18.04

[ryan-allen]

Hello! When installing the new deb package for 3.3.0, and I run code-server, I get this error when I try to use the app in the browser:

Error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /usr/lib/code-server/lib/vscode/node_modules/spdlog/build/Release/spdlog.node)

I'm on Ubuntu 18.04, and have been using prior releases with no issues.

Can you run ldd --version to see what libc version you're on?

Thanks for the quick response <3 Here's my ldd --version output:

Thank you as well.

Looks like we're going to switch CI to build on an older system.

In the meantime, you can easily install with our npm package. See https://github.com/cdr/code-server#npm
