[RESOLVED] Ubuntu question

[realchamp]

Hello, all!

I just installed Linux Ubuntu Desktop Version 9.04 32BIT on my PC.

I'm used to use the older version(8.something) - but when I try to install a Source Dedicated Server, it doesn't know the ./hldsupdatetool.bin command, just before I'd use ./steam.

I'm sure I'm in the right directory. Here's the commands I used.

Code:

mkdir srcds_l
cd srcds_l
wget http://www.steampowered.com/download/hldsupdatetoo.bin
chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
./hldsupdatetool.bin        // This is where it doesn't work at all.

The error is:

Code:

Bash: hldsupdatetool.bin no such file or directory.

(I think it was like that)

- realchamp.

I'm not used to Linux, so if I made a silly mistake, don't worry, just tell me.

Ps. if you need more information, let me know!

i used to get that error in 2 occations in 8.10

-when using 64bit
-when intalling as root

hope that helps

[realchamp]

Didn't help that much

This could be that you don't have command "uncompress".

You can solve it by linking command "uncompress" to "compress". For example I have:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2009-01-10 20:43 /usr/bin/uncompress -> compress*

This is something I've done in the past.

How shall I use that?

[css]

First let's check that it's even the problem:

Write:

Code:

which uncompress

Then if it doesn't say anything, write:

Code:

which compress

The result should be like: /usr/bin/compress

Then write:

Code:

ln -s /usr/bin/compress /usr/bin/uncompress

[realchamp]

Here is my outlook.

Code:

realchamp@ubuntu:~$ cd srcds_l
realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$ which uncompress
/bin/uncompress
realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$ which compress
realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$ ln -s /usr/bin/compress /usr/bin/uncompress
ln: creating symbolic link '/usr/bin/uncompress': Permission denied
realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$

Just tell me if I did anything wrong. I am the only user on my Linux installation and Windows. But the "Permission denied" I do not understand.

EDIT:

I just did this and this I what I had.

Code:

realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$ ./hldsupdatetool.bin
bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: Permission denied
realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$

That is without chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin

[css]

realchamp Wrote:That is without chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin

Okay. I see this is n00blevel -99. Let me rephrase this one

First of all it seems you have "uncompress" installed, but you don't have "compress". That's ok (although I consider it slightly weird installation )

You've probably downloaded hldsupdatetool.bin as root to some folder where you don't have access as user "realchamp". Download hldsupdatetool.bin again and make sure it's owned by realchamp. Do command "ls -l hldsupdatetool.bin and see that it says realchamp there". Then do "chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin" and then "./hldsupdatetool.bin". Make sure the file hldsupdatetool.bin is in the user realchamp's homedir, ie. /home/realchamp/hldsupdatetool.bin.

If you want to play sure but dirty, change to root first and then run all the same commands. Then you don't have to worry about permissions. Someone will say it's bad idea, but you get results much faster that way.

[realchamp]

I will switch to Linux and try it

Thanks! I'll let you know in a second!

I did that, here is what I got.

      --time=WORD            with -l, show time as WORD instead of modification
                             time: atime -u, access -u, use -u, ctime -c,
                             or status -c; use specified time as sort key
                             if --sort=time
      --time-style=STYLE     with -l, show times using style STYLE:
                             full-iso, long-iso, iso, locale, +FORMAT.
                             FORMAT is interpreted like `date'; if FORMAT is
                             FORMAT1<newline>FORMAT2, FORMAT1 applies to
                             non-recent files and FORMAT2 to recent files;
                             if STYLE is prefixed with `posix-', STYLE
                             takes effect only outside the POSIX locale
  -t                         sort by modification time

      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following:
kB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.

By default, color is not used to distinguish types of files.  That is
equivalent to using --color=none.  Using the --color option without the
optional WHEN argument is equivalent to using --color=always.  With
--color=auto, color codes are output only if standard output is connected
to a terminal (tty).  The environment variable LS_COLORS can influence the
colors, and can be set easily by the dircolors command.

Exit status is 0 if OK, 1 if minor problems, 2 if serious trouble.

Do not mind all the stupid things I did

Also, it said:



How can I make myself an owner?

[css]

This is weird. I can't figure it out.

Is there anyone else with Ubuntu?

[realchamp]

Damnit. But can I do myself an admin or an owner?

Or would it be better to use the Server edition?

[tatti]

Hello realchamp,

First write: sudo passwd root
-giev the password what you want-
then write: su
-giev the password what you gived-

And you are logged in as root. Hope that helps

I do all that kinda of stuff in linux as root. Much easier.

Oh this was old thread, well if someone else has same problem maybe this will help.

[realchamp]

Is not that old! Thanks for your help! I'll just go check it later. Since my exam starts in 40minutes! *RUNNING*!

[realchamp]

Here is the output

Code:

realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$ sudo passwd root
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
realchamp@ubuntu:~/srcds_l$ su
Password:
Added user root.

root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l# ./hldsupdatetool.bin
bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: Permission denied
root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l#

And then I did this:

Code:

root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l#
root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l# chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l# ./steam
bash: ./steam: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l# ./hldsupdatetool.bin
bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:/home/realchamp/srcds_l#

Is there a standard Remote Desktop Tool in Linux Ubuntu? If so, I can let you have remote access to make sure I did it right!

[peno]

don't run srcds as root, just a bad idea.

This thread as some possible fixes though http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/10636

srcds has just worked on any ubuntu server for me, so it's possible you're missing a library when you installed.
