No, when you click on it from the srcds folder!
How do you get the console to open you?!

First lemme state that i'm delete that attention getting post because its not nessassary. I know you want an answer to your question but you really need to be more specific.

It sounds like you want the server to start up when you double click on srcds_run, however, it does not work like that. You need to open up a console which you can find in your menu, i don't know which desktop environment you are running.

Once you get the console launched, you need to go into the Desktop directory and then into your srcds directory, it might be something like

Code:

cd ~/Desktop/srcds

Though it may be easier if you move srcds to ~/ (your homedir eg. /home/username)

You then execute the server by typing in ./srcds_run and include need arguments, other than that you can't just double click on it like windows.

No problem. Keep in mind, because you're using the X server (your gui environment) you're going to have a decrease in performance compared to if it was just CLI (command Line Interface.

best way to have a srcds on a linux sistem is having this sistem without X and manage it from terminal only, or in baddest case from webmin.
