Permissions Help with ./steam command

[finest123]

Hi, when I run the command

Code:

./steam

or

Code:

-autoupdate

when I want to update my server I get

Code:

Checking bootstrapper version ...
Segmentation fault

But when I do

Code:

sudo ./steam -command update -game "Counter Strike Source" -dir .

it works but everything in owned by root. Is there a way to fix this? Also before I used to be able to just do ./steam and stuff without doinf sudo ./steam, I am not sure what happened. thanks

maybe try

chown -R youruser /dir/with/your/files/in

Then run it from your normal user

No that did not work, i still get

Code:

Checking bootstrapper version ...
Segmentation fault

[Monk]

find /home -name .steam -type d -exec rm -rf {} \;

If that doesn't work, install strace and run this, and paste the last half of it into this message

strace -Ff ./steam -autoupdate (or whatever flags)

I used the command that you suggested (strace -Ff ./steam ) to try and resolve my problem also this is the output.

Code:

execve("./steam", ["./steam"], [/* 28 vars */]) = 0

[Monk]

Heh.. Why are you running steam with sudo? Does it run fine with nonroot?
