[maj_damage]

when i try to attach to it I get this error...

Code:

[root@localhost root]# screen -x css-server
/usr/bin/screen: Symbol `ospeed' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
Attaching from inside of screen?
[root@localhost root]#

Please help

seems to be a problem related to screen and your linux distro, try google ...

you should never run your server as root !!!!

it would also help us if you can tell us, how you start your dedicated server ...

oldboys is right, never run your server as root. is your server still running? from what i understand the error you got proceeds to be a bufferoverflow. I'll have to look it up though. I will ask however that yu follow my sticky and at least post your distro, kernel version and screen version.

I dont run the server as "Root" I dont think....

I start the server automatically on boot with the command "server.sh" and that is put in the "rc.local" file.
As i followed this guide:

Code:

Running srcds in background (re-attachable)

We will make a script that will run the srcds in the background in a "screen"
you will need to have screen installed for this. make a file called server.sh and put this in:
Command(s):
#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Cs:Source Server"
sleep 1
screen -A -m -d -S css-server ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Save the file, and chmod it to run
Command(s):chmod +x server.sh

If you want to start your server, simply run server.sh . It will start your srcd server in the background, to open it type:
Command(s):screen -x css-server

If you want to close it again press ctrl+a+d, and it will detach the screen and keep it running in the background.

Distro is Linux Redhat 9
Kernel is the default for RH9. ( no Idea what it is)

This is all I know.

for kernel version run uname -a
for screen version run
screen -v OR screen --version

i think..

[oldboys]

or screen --help ;D

of course you run as "ROOT", everything it starts in the rc.local runs as root ....

look at your prompt, it says root@localhost !!!! you are root at localhost .... maybe you should also give your machine a name !!! localhost is so general and it is an alias for your machine, but not the real machine name !!!

Red Hat 9 ???? i will update to fedora core or some other more up to date distro !!! steam has also some issues with the glibc !!! look at steam forum for that.

I run Slackware-current (10.1) with no issues.

I think they are talking about actually logging in as root.

su is like root, but not exactly root

[cryotek]

reguardless though, root is root.

[maj_damage]

Well thanks but, no thanks....

I am not going to download a conplete new distro and Download the dedicated server again...

I will sort out the problem on my own

My source dedicated server works fine. (if it aint broke dont mess with it)

It is just screen, I can run things in screen just cant re-attach to them.

So downloadeing like 8gig of software is not a good fix.

The message appears to say you're trying to attach to the screen session when you haven't yet left it. How are you "detaching"?

Well I updated to Fedora Core 3 & server name is "damage@damagebox"
And I start the CSS server as User account damage...

Screen works now and so does everything else, I should of done this ages ago..
