Srcds segfault

[Wind]

Hi,

for over 2 months server has worked fine but since last friday it is crashing randomly. No system change has been made, no new addons/mods. Crashs just starts with no reason.


logs:

Code:

cat /var/log/syslog |grep srcds

Maybe a serverfile is corrupted. Try an update with teh -verify_all option

Try updating your servers

I have the same error since the last update

Code:

Mar 10 06:00:01 c-94-255-210-250 kernel: steam[18931]: segfault at b7ce8004 ip b7f6a7e2 sp bffbad60 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[b7efa000+155000]

I have tried updating the server and also used verify_all. Have tried to google about it. Seems like it´s a pretty common error.

I had it also. I'm quite sure the problem is in ~/.steam/ClientRegistry.blob. It gets corrupted or something.

Fix:

1. Delete ~/.steam/ directory altogether.
2. Try if your servers work

1. Delete ~/.steam/ directory altogether
2. Reinstall (or -verify_all) your servers
3. Make sure you have NEW ~/.steam/ directory with ClientRegistry.blob in it

~/.steam/ is fancy way of saying /home/user/.steam/ . Those who use desktop Linux, see ".steam" folder in your My Computer .

Tried that server works and i can se it but stil i get those segfaults. Will trye to do a fresh install later today...

[css]

You may not need fresh install. You just have ended up with a broken ClientRegistry.blob in the ~/.steam/ directory. I did reinstall, but I think just deleting the ~/.steam/ directory and then running the new steam binary from hldsupdatetool.bin would have solved the problem. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LATEST VERSIONS WHEN YOU REINSTALL.

I've done full srcds reinstall - still the same problem.

Code:

Looks like it's reinstall change nothing.

Im not normally using srcds_i486 for my startline, i use srcds_run. Try that, it could maybe help

[css]

Did you delete ~/.steam/ directory before reinstall?

@ lol554
The process that throws the segmentation fault is srcds_amd, srcds_i486 or srcds_i686. The srcds_run program is just a script which determines which of the three binaries should be started. So even if you start with srcds_run, the syslog shows one of the three. The script srcds_run itself never segfaults.

You just made me a little bit more clever
