Ubuntu 22.04.1 issues with Bitfusion 22.04 client

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
When you have Ubuntu 22.04.1 and run the 22.04 client, if you run commands you will run into the following error:

bitfusion run -n 1 nvidia-smi
Requested resources:
Server List: 10.21.20.102:56001
Client idle timeout: 0 min
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
exit status 139

Environment

VMware vSphere Bitfusion 4.x

Cause

This is due to an issue with 22.04.1 updating GLIBC to 2.35 and changing calls from SYS_clone to SYS_clone3

Resolution

This issue will be resolved in the 22.04 client that will be released with 4.5.3. For a workaround we have developed a library to handle the notated change correctly.

Workaround:

1. Download the library attached to this KB on the right side under "Attachments" and copy to your client machine

2. Go to the following directory: cd /opt/bitfusion/4.5.2-474898f7/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib/
3. Backup the current library: sudo mv libsyscall_intercept.so.0 libsyscall_intercept.so.backup
4. copy the updated library to the same directory and rename accordingly: sudo cp /home/customer/libsyscall_intercept.so libsyscall_intercept.so.0
5. Update file owner:  sudo chown root:root libsyscall_intercept.so.0
6. Update file permissions: sudo chmod 755 libsyscall_intercept.so.0
7. Test the Bitfusion client again:  bitfusion run -n 1 nvidia-smi
