Camunda, Modeler: "A JavaScript error occurred in the main process,... version `GLIBC_2.29' not found"

Question

When I try to run Camunda Modeler in Ubuntu, I get the following error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error: Failed to load /opt/camunda-modeler/resources/app.asar/node_modules/grpc/src/node/extension_binary/electron-v12.0-linux-x64-glibc/grpc_node.node. /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.hoRe47)

libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed

My system is updated and I already have Google Chrome installed.

How can I fix this?

Your Ubuntu GLIBC version seems outdated.

Try:

ldd --version
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6

(newest version here for me is 2.31-0ubuntu9.2)

As a workaround you could fall back to an older modeler version as mentioned in one of the comments: https://downloads.camunda.cloud/release/camunda-modeler/4.8.1/camunda-modeler-4.8.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
