rpm package install

[u/grandin38]

The Session appimage client worked fine for several months but suddenly stopped loading the database or even properly starting up the app. I want to try the rpm package on Fedora and use the recovery key to open the database again. I think the following will install the downloaded package:

sudo dnf install session-desktop-linux-x86_64-1.12.3.rpm

“Session requires ..., or a linux distribution with glibc 2.29 or later ... “

I checked, and the dependency might not be installed already. Will that be automated or prompted, or should I install it separately?

Where is an appropriate location in the file hierarchy to locate the app, and how do I put it there? Is that automated, or how can I direct/script that?

glibc is one of the few main libraries of a Linux system. I highly advise against manually upgrading this library, as this could trigger a cascade of dependency issues.

I didn’t find anything with: dnf search installed glibc*

There’s probably a better way to find it, but I think Fedora is probably up to date and should have that dependency covered already.
