[slurm-users] How to install a newer slurm version on Ubuntu 18.04

[mohammed shambakey]

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

                              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?
