CSS Server running way to fast.

set the governor to performance and you should be fine, i.e.

Code:

echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

and to see if it was successfull:

Code:

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

you will need to do this for all cpus (replace "cpu0" with everthing which is there in that directory)

I am afraid to say that this did not solve the problem. I replaced the scaling_governor for both cpu 1 and 0. The server is still running at hyper speeds with major connectivity issues.

This is turning into quite the conundrum.

hm... what kernel version do you use? post output of "uname -a"...

hm sorry. I really am out of ideas... maybe it is a hardware problem after all... I guess you will not have much fun running servers on that machine in any case, it's just too slow...

Oh well. I appreciate the help. I guess I will just use it as a vent server for now.

I have the same problem and found a workaround, I was lucky; if there is an "alteriwnet" server running on the same machine over wine, the counter strike source server works fine.

I think the trick is use a wine aplication at same time, I belive the problem is broken ACPI or HPET... not sure.

My Laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 1526 and my OS is Ubuntu 11.10 server.

Broken HPET timers.

I have the same problem, though on a Garrysmod server. I've found that changing host_timescale to something like 0.3 will set the speed somewhat right. But it makes quite much lag as a bieffect. I don't think that there is anything wrong with my HPET, as my other servers(minecraft) run perfectly on the same computer.

I also run this on a laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 @ 1.83GHz and 3GB ram, OS is Ubuntu Server 32-bit

The server ran perfectly before, no lags, speedups or anything. I am not sure of when the error started to appear, as I ran my server unwatched for a month or two.

I have also deleted all configfiles, bins. And even reinstalled the whole server os, just to find out that the error still persists.

Anyone got any ideas? :/

Oh really? Not trying to look like a smartass, but hosting on a laptop is NEVER recommended.

Well, belive it or not, there was little to nothing lag. Didn't belive it at first myself, and only used it as a test server. But it ran great. It is modified abit though, every unnessesary part is taken of and the cooler is enhanced upon a bit.

I also tried to switch timer, as one of you proposed. But I only got access denied, with and without root.

[Mike]

If you are root you should have access to everything on the system, I can't imagine what you've done with your permissions if you can't do it as root.

Well, its a blank, vanilla installation of Ubuntu Server. See for yourself:

Code:

anderen2@everest:~$ cd /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/
anderen2@everest:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0$ ls
available_clocksource  current_clocksource
anderen2@everest:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0$ cat available_clocksource
hpet acpi_pm
anderen2@everest:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0$ cat current_clocksource
hpet
anderen2@everest:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0$ echo acpi_pm > current_clocksource
-bash: current_clocksource: Permission denied
anderen2@everest:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0$ sudo echo acpi_pm > current_clocksource
-bash: current_clocksource: Permission denied
anderen2@everest:/sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0$ ls -l
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-02-05 18:42 available_clocksource
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 2012-02-05 18:42 current_clocksource

[Mike]

You still aren't root...

[[*GRS*] Grim Reaper]

I'm having the same problem srcds always got my cpu frequency wrong when running the benchmark and the only way around it for me was to type "export RDTSC_FREQUENCY=disabled" into the console before starting my server.

[Mike]

I believe you have to be root for doing that too..

ANYHOW, since no-one can figure out how to go root, just type "su" in the console and enter the root-password.
If there isnt a root password, type "sudo passwd root" and enter a password, then you use "su". Have fun.
