New Update Crashes Linux Servers

[RealDopey]

The update as of 7/8/14 (version 14.07.08) crashes some servers (tested on CentOS 6.5 and reported on Debian 7) with the following error:

Failed to open dedicated_srv.so (bin/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not
found (required by bin/dedicated_srv.so))

[robotboy655]

Linux servers now have GLIBCXX_3.4.15 dependency, so you gotta install it first.
Not sure if this will be fixed.

[RealDopey]

Isn't that shipped with CentOS? How can I install it?

Nothing to fix, CentOS just loves old versions of gcc. Look up devtools-1.1.

You mean this? I installed this per the instructions, but
strings /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX_3.4.1
still returns only 5 versions:
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13

I got Linux centos

[hanm13]

Before the update I had in the bin directory : libstdc++.so.6
and the server start normaly
now with this file the server wont run
and without the file wont run
...
Crash every run
I tried to download clean garrysmod server and doesnt working

[robotboy655]

You need to download GLIBC_2.15

[hanm13]

From where?...
yum install glibc
No package GLIBC_2.15 available.
Package glibc-2.12-1.132.el6_5.2.x86_64 already installed and latest version

[Cloudhunter]

Updating GLIBC has a habit of completely breaking CentOS. Why is there now a GLIBC_2.15 requirement now anyway?

[awillinger]

Using Debian Wheezy, not possible to update to a newer version of GLIBC without breaking the entire System. Debian testing seems to fix it, but I don't want to have a testing version on my live server.

[robotboy655]

I don't know why is there a necessity for it, hopefully we can get rid of it or something.

[hanm13]

Now all my community down because this issue...

[Cloudhunter]

Yep, because that is totally feasible in all situations. Updating GLIBC can break a lot of shit.

[Herover]

On Debian Wheezy, follow these instructions to fix: http://stackoverflow.com/a/21254623
Works for me.

HandsomeMatt, so you think we MUST use distro like Fedora or Ubuntu for dedicated servers ? No way.

[handsomematt]

I think you should use a distro you can understand and use.

[hanm13]

HandsomeMatt , All the big compnies use Centos.
Ubuntu is for home use.
Centos for servers.

[handsomematt]

CentOS is for enterprise. Debian is for servers as well and the clear choice for Source servers.

GLIBC_2.15 is from 2012, if a distro doesn't have those libraries, that's hardly an issue with GMod sorry. You're using Linux, if you didn't want to / don't know how to mess around with dependencies, you should probably buy a managed server.

[hanm13]

No.

[ghost]

Sometimes it's not just yum install glibc-2.15 or apt-get install glibc-2.15.

[handsomematt]

Yeah again, welcome to Linux, if you can't deal with an unmanaged server buy a managed one. This isn't an issue, this isn't going to get a fix, this is a good thing. I hope Garry updates glib to 2.19.

[ghost]

Yeah, and then, allow Garry's Mod to run only on Windows 8.1, 'cause Windows 7 is sooooo "2009".

[hanm13]

NightlyDev , lol :)
and only who have Nvidia graphic card
and only intel CPU
and only Gigabyte motherboard

[ghost]

For CentOS 6.x Servers, you can try to upgrade to CentOS 7. Good luck.

[hanm13]

And how? I have VPS...

[ghost]

If you have root access, it should be ok.

[hanm13]

I have
What the command I need to write
yum upgrade?
Nothing done...

[patrr2]

How do i update to glibc-2.15 on Debian 7??
I tried these all tricks what you guys told me, nothing worked.
Isnt it that hard? Its anyway pertty used OS on gmod servers? Garry cant just leave us ;(

[ghost]

HandsomeMatt, this is exactly what I did on a test server, and the system crashed.

[KushLove]

Confirming that HandsomeMatt's "Solution" does not work on CentOS 6.5

[hanm13]

Dont do what HandsomeMatt sayed to do?
...
I am in make command

[KushLove]

@hanm13 I would suggest you don't. It didn't fix the issue, and it may cause problems.

[hanm13]

The make command work fine
I only need to do sudo make install
I will dont do that to avoid system bugs?...

[KushLove]

@handsomematt It did successfully upgrade GLIBC to 2.15, but it did not change the error or create a different one.

[hanm13]

@handsomematt you said to me to do ../configure --prefix='/usr'
and in you thread you said to do ../configure --prefix='/home/you/mylibs'
And I did ../configure --prefix='/usr'

[KushLove]

Following the instructions provided by @handsomematt in the following link does not solve the issue in CentOS 6.5

http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1407757

[KushLove]

Like I said before, following the instructions you provided does not change the error whatsoever. I made no error in following these instructions. I will include the error as requested, even though it is available if you scroll up.

Failed to open dedicated_srv.so (/lib/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by bin/dedicated_srv.so))

[hanm13]

Nothing working
I tried to configure twice

[KushLove]

@handsomematt I followed you updated instructions, including the proper launch method below.

/home/you/mylibs/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path .:bin:garrysmod/bin::/home/you/mylibs/lib:/usr/lib32/:/usr/lib/ ./srcds_run -console -game garrysmod +maxplayers 40 +map rp_downtown_v4c.bsp -port 27035 +gamemode "darkrp"

After doing so, I run into the following error.

./srcds_run: error while loading shared libraries: ./srcds_run: invalid ELF header

[ghost]

Got it working... On CentOS 7 ! Fresh install. Running SRCDS on a XFS Filesystem (with insensitive filename lookup)

[hanm13]

I updated the glibc I think
and I dont want to brake my centos..
I dont understand
if I restart the server its will not start?...

[ghost]

Garry undo this update

[ghost]

It isn't about if we know or not, it's because it's a stupid requirement.
Updating libs on CentOS can break the whole system and everyone knows about that.

Why force a whole part of gmod servers hosted at centos to change just because of something who can easily be worked around?

[robotboy655]

It it were easy to workaround, it would have been fixed. Move further discussion to Facepunch forums.
This isn't planned to change.

[handsomematt]

'You're all pansies for hosting on Linux without knowing anything. Go buy a
nice Windows server.'. Try to filter SRCDS Denial-of-Service packets with Windows or any packet containing a given string. Maybe you will understand why I'm using Linux. CentOS 7 running GLIBC 2.17 fixed this issue.

[Cloudhunter]

Why did the requirement change in the first place? Maybe if we had a nice reason, we would be more understanding other than people saying "LOL UPDATE YOUR GLIBC PANSIES". It is a dangerous procedure, I HAVE broken systems doing it before.

Now imagine having to update it on thousands of VPS servers. I am going to try and work round it regardless (perhaps with LD_LIBRARY_PATH), but a little cooperation and information would be appreciated.

Much love <3

[Cloudhunter]

I didn't state an opinion here, I asked a question. I've found a workaround anyway, so I have nothing more to say to assholes like you.
