Hi I'm new to slurm, and sorry if this is a repeated email. I have a cluster at my work consisting of one head node, and 3 compute nodes. Ubuntu 22.04 is installed on the head node, and 2 compute nodes, whereas the third has Ubuntu 18.04 (it is needed because it hosts an old M10 GPU).
I installed slurm 21.08.5 on the head node, and the 2 compute nodes with Ubuntu 22.04. On the third node (with Ubuntu 18.04), I tried to add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: *deb http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu <http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu> jammy main universe* Then, I tried to update the third machine and install the slurmd package, but I receive the following error: Setting up slurm-wlm-basic-plugins (21.08.5-2ubuntu1) ... cp: cannot stat '/etc/slurm-llnl/.': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package slurm-wlm-basic-plugins (--configure): installed slurm-wlm-basic-plugins package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of slurmd: slurmd depends on slurm-wlm-basic-plugins (= 21.08.5-2ubuntu1); however: Package slurm-wlm-basic-plugins is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package slurmd (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of slurm-client: slurm-client depends on slurm-wlm-basic-plugins (= 21.08.5-2ubuntu1); however: Package slurm-wlm-basic-plugins is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package slurm-client (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. Errors were encountered while processing: slurm-wlm-basic-plugins slurmd slurm-client E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I wonder if it is possible to install slurm 21.08.5 on Ubuntu 18.04? or I should downgrade the installed slurm on the other nodes to slurm 17.11.2?
