hldsupdatetool Segmentation fault

ScreenSilently · 2011-05-20 18:47:02

hello,

when i'm trying to run the hldsupdatetool.bin, for updating counter strike files to make a server i'm getting a "Segmentation fault", something I don't get in other distros.

the problem isn't on my installation, as i have tested it with different ones..

ldd:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77eb000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb767e000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77ec000)

so is linux-gate.so.1 missing? where can i find it?
i can't find it in other distros.

on messages.log i'm getting this error:

Did you ever get this working; I am having the same issue here.

Try glibc from testing.

... there is no glibc in testing?

There was a day ago... 2.14.

I'm also getting this segfault.

There is no new glibc in testing to try out, 2.14-4 is the latest one and it's in core.

Also tried on my desktop PC with the same results:

Was there resolution to this? Hitting the same issue on a 32bit install. Installed a 64bit but also getting the same seg fault.

benbrooks · 2011-08-23 22:58:52

I was unable to find a resolution to this, but it's definitely glibc's fault.

Downgrade that and you're good to go, the only problem is that practically everything needs to have glibc as a dependancy, so it's a PITA to downgrade.

Swarfega · 2011-08-23 23:15:36

Ok thanks. Too much work for a newb like me then. I'll sit and wait for this to be fixed. Odd though this isn't happening to other distros?

It's not happening to other distros because they're still on an older version of glibc. Arch Linux is a rolling release distro which tends to get "bleeding edge" updates, which of course introduces bugs like this until things are fixed.

Best sticking to a non-rolling release distro like Debian or Ubuntu if it's a server.

Swarfega · 2011-08-23 23:23:01

Ah fair enough, explains why Ubuntu has no issues. I kinda love Arch's minimalistic lightweight OS to get the most from my applications. Thanks anyway Ben.

I'm very interested in getting this working ... fyi!

synthead · 2011-09-02 07:02:43

Okay, I used an old system to extract the two files created by this binary, compressed it as a .tar.xz, and am sharing it here: http://goo.gl/Yc4Eq

-edit- Gaah, the 'steam' binary is segfaulting too

The only work around I found was a rebuild using the older 2010.05 ISO and not using pacman to upgrade the system. Its sad how long this is taking to get resolved!

It's not an arch issue, Valve needs to update their binaries to be compatible with the new glibc version, and since 99.9% of servers won't be on rolling release distros it isn't their top priority.
