Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @mapi64!

Could you share a copy of your Local Log with us?

Have I to upgrade my OS or to install an older version of Local?

The error in your logs looks like this:

{"class":"Process","level":"warn","message":"%%userDataPath%%/lightning-services/php-8.2.29+0/bin/linux/sbin/php-fpm: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by %%userDataPath%%/lightning-services/php-8.2.29+0/bin/linux/shared-libs/libmd.so.0)","process":"phpFpm","thread":"main","timestamp":"2026-04-17T13:28:38.226Z"}

Ubuntu 20.04 supports GLIBC 2.31 so GLIBC_2.33 can’t be found.

You might be able to create a Custom site with an older version of PHP (8.1 or lower) as a workaround.

Otherwise yes you can downgrade your Local application as well:
