Hello.
I'm trying to set up a GES server under Linux.  However, the server seems to immediately crash with a segmentation fault.  I get this error message:
========================================
./srcds_run: line 344:  2120 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) $HL_CMD
Failed to read a valid object file image from memory.
Cannot access memory at address 0xbf824a0c
/home/tux9656/hlds/2/debug.cmds:4: Error in sourced command file:
Cannot access memory at address 0xbf824a0c
email debug.log to linux@valvesoftware.com
========================================
I am able to host HL2 deathmatch fine and I checked the md5 sum of the file, gesource_beta_4_full.zip, I downloaded and it checked out just fine so I don't think anything is corrupted.  I'd appreciate any advise anyone has to offer.  Thanks.

As the resident linux GES expert I will have to say: sorry but I can't help you.

Valve constantly breaks linux support on their dedicated server. It's anyones guess as to the problem. That blurb you posted is absolutely helpless.

Thanks for the reply.  Perhaps you are right in that a recent update broke something.  From what I've seen on this forum, it seems like Valve's updates break things often.  I guess I'll try the Steam forums, but I bet I'll get the whole "third party mods aren't supported, blah, blah, blah."

I used to be a diehard linux user for srcds until I got fed up with valve breaking up everything every day.

The best answer you'll ever have is: switch to windows. Yeah it sucks but it's more stable than linux when it comes to dealing with valve's products.
