Re: [hlds_linux] srcds still unstable after 8/24 update - additional info
The instability I have been experiencing with Segmentation Faults appears to have been related to a bad memory module. I had two 512MB DDR400 DIMM's, and the second one failed the extended BIOS memory test. Here is a recent output of stats: CPU InOut Uptime Users FPSPlayers 22.67 0.00 0.003356 165 83.06 12 cat /proc/meminfo looks quite different now: MemTotal: 515504 kB MemFree: 10092 kB Buffers: 3544 kB Cached: 81572 kB SwapCached:564 kB Active: 395360 kB Inactive:82500 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree:0 kB LowTotal: 515504 kB LowFree: 10092 kB SwapTotal: 2031608 kB SwapFree: 2023280 kB Dirty: 0 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 418612 kB Slab:12424 kB CommitLimit: 2289360 kB Committed_AS: 521716 kB PageTables: 1704 kB VmallocTotal: 507896 kB VmallocUsed: 7472 kB VmallocChunk: 499188 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 HugePages_Rsvd: 0 Hugepagesize: 4096 kB and so does cat /proc/swaps: FilenameTypeSizeUsed Priority /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 partition 2031608 8328-1 but at least its stable again and players are beginning to return.

Re: [hlds_linux] feel like a newb, crash on startup
Try this suggestion for loading the standard i486 version of srcds by putting "-binary ./srcds_i486" on the command line. This was a suggestion from from someone else. I've been running it for a couple days now on my AMD box with increased stability. Please let us know if this works for you so we can get some more experience with this Segmentation Fault problem.

Re: [hlds_linux] feel like a newb, crash on startup
Ha! Ye olde Segmentation Fault... See my several posts here and replies from others. The common elements between our setups is AMD and the underlying HLDS (I run CS:S). Best of luck to you. My server was stable for a year up until the 8/24 update. The only tip I haven't yet tried is a total delete and reinstall of hlds. Sorry I can't be of more encouragement.

Re: [hlds_linux] srcds still unstable after 8/24 update
I have not changed the install location since the server was originally configured a year ago. The file and directory permissions are proper for the user running srcds. I even double checked the rights on the update tool.

Re: [hlds_linux] srcds still unstable after 8/24 update
I deleted the InstallRecord.blob, and the addons directory was renamed. Launched the server with -autoupdate and -verify_all, and it crashed on cs_office with a segmentation fault in less than 5 minutes. At other times I have seen it run for 3 or more standard maps with mp_timelimit=20. Interesting thing, though, when I started the server I just noticed it complains about the following: Error: Material "plaster/slide" : proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found! Error: Material "models/props/cs_office/clouds" : proxy "TextureScroll" not found! Error: Material "models/props/cs_office/clouds2" : proxy "TextureScroll" not found! Executing dedicated server config file Error: Material "sprites/bubble" : proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found! Error: Material "models/props/cs_office/screen" : proxy "AnimatedTexture" not found! I don't know why it would complain about a standard map, but I don't think it would be related to the Segmentation Fault I am experiencing... Maybe I'm wrong, though. Thank you for your suggestion!

Re: [hlds_linux] srcds still unstable after 8/24 update
It seems to crash on random maps, including standard ones. I just restarted it with cs_office, and it crashed within 5 minutes. I have not seen any pattern with which maps it crashes on, unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion, though!

If it's happening really frequently then take a couple of days worth of logs and do a bit of deductive reasoning. I don't think it's just custom de_ maps, btw.
