GE:S and Ubuntu 14.04 - srcds_i486 Invalid Pointer

Debriefing > Questions, Help, & How To's

(1/4) > >>

iMouse:
Well, after attempts to get GE:S running on Ubuntu Server 14.04 (64-bit w/32-bit libs) and Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 32-bit, I'm at a loss. I'm in pretty deep and could use some help from the gurus out there.

ldd output of server_i486.so looks good, all but the three usual files are showing availability.

   linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77bb000)
   steam_api_i486.so => not found
   tier0_i486.so => not found
   vstdlib_i486.so => not found
   libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xb5f16000)
   libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xb5f11000)
   libz.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so.1 (0xb5ef7000)
   librt.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0xb5eee000)
   libutil.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libutil.so.1 (0xb5ee9000)
   libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb5e00000)
   libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xb5c51000)
   /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77bc000)
   libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xb5c35000)
   libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb5c18000)

SDK 2007 (Orangebox) is installed at /usr/local/steamcmd/srcds/

Gesource folder is at /usr/local/steamcmd/gesource/

Running as root to rule out any permissions or access issues. I even changed the permissions and ownership of the steamcmd folder and contents to ensure that it was not having difficulty accessing pieces of the install.

Instructions here: http://wiki.geshl2.com/goldeneye/server_install got me this far. Did i miss something?

KM is usually the one to answer these questions... I need to set up a Linux server so I can help with them too.

Just by looking at your output, it looks like you're not loading some of the Source-specific libraries (tier0, vstdlib, steam_api).

Sometimes I have to run/compile Linux software someplace where I don't have root privileges (like at my university) that depends on external soname libraries. You can add an extra path that searches another folder for the soname files like so:

--- Code: ---
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/where/valve/sonames/are:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./srcds_run -game ../gesource +maxplayers 16 +map ge_archives
--- End code ---

Again, I don't have any experience with Linux SRCDS, but given your ldd output this may be a step in the right direction.

This is a super helpful page I reference all the time regarding this:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html

killermonkey:
You've loaded all the necessary libraries because you get into GES Code. I know this because you loaded DeathMatch scenario ;-)

I have never seen this crash before though when running on Linux. Indicates an error in a call to free() which is trying to release memory it does not own. This could be because of stack corruption, bad pointer management, etc. Although clearly not repeatable on my end since I do not get this crash.

Try adding "+ip 192.168.XXX.XXX" replacing the X's with your machines local IP address. Sometimes the Valve master server code gets all bonkers behind a firewall.

Did a debug.log get output?

iMouse:
Wow...that was a quick reply! Thanks, guys!

Well, I added the LAN IP and it crashed again...the first time it segfaulted, then rebooted and threw the same pointer error.

I can't imagine what the problem would be...unless there is something funny with 14.04 that isn't occurring on 12.xx and 13.xx.

Here is the debug.log file you requested, killermonkey.

It is not crashing directly from GES library. Suggest you re-download or cache verify the Source SDK Base 2007.
