"Operating system: Linux Ubuntu Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS [5.11.0-35-generic|libc ignored. (cannot open shared object file)]"

I've been running this system for a month now and this is the first time that I noticed it.  Can anyone tell me what it means?

My computer has in it a 3950X CPU and a RTX 2060 GPU.

You have an issue with the

You have an issue with the standard libc library for some reason that BOINC is not finding it. This could pose some bad problems if you need to compile anything.

Check to see if it is installed first.

ldd --version

sudo /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

apt-cache show libc6

If there are issues where none of these commands find your libc then go ahead and update and install it.

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libc6

george@GWG-PC2:~$ sudo

george@GWG-PC2:~$ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libc6

 

this is not correct. this is supposed to be two separate commands, not on one line like this.

 

do "sudo apt update" first.

then "sudo apt install libc6" second.

There is something strange

There is something strange going on with your apt-cache.  It lists the repository as belonging to CDROM????

Did you make your Ubuntu Live installation for a CDROM install by chance?

I've never done so as I don't have any CDROM player installed for years.  I only use a USB Flash install for installation media.

[Edit] OBTW, the latest Ubuntu distro is 20.04.3 LTS

You are running an older version at .2.

To my knowledge I DID NOT do a Ubuntu Live installation for a CDROM, at least not that I know of.  Though I do have a CDROM installed in my computer, it has not been used for nearly two years.

I will update my Ubuntu distro to 20.04.3 LTS.

Okay, that apparently fixed it also.  I now have the header info visible again.

And my computer is also running Ubuntu distro 20.04.3 LTS too, now.

Thank you AGAIN!
