Linux 1.62.95577 alpha

[sthalik 10]

Why build the depends? Grab wheezy's .debs, use ar(1) to unpack, then 'data.tar.gz' are the contents. Or copy from some virtual machine installed for this sole purpose. In fact, I just specified the list of shared libraries required for running the alpha. Some of them are symlinks created by ldconfig, though.

Linux From Scratch isn't that uncommon, either :) Coupled with some knowledge about the C language, can greatly help many a budding UNIX hacker.

I have been running CentOS 6.2 64bit with 32 bit libs and patch 1.60 first with alpha 1.60, and then official 1.60. I never had problems. It was a chore to find the compatible 32 bit libs, as I had to look for them outside of CentOS main official repository. I think I got them from rpm.pbone.net. It took much cross referencing to find them. I am currently uploading my newly patched game to the server. It may be a couple of days before it finishes and I report back success or failure. I am running glibc 2.6. Not to far off of 2.7 It may work. If not, updating should not be a huge problem.

I can confirm that this is NOT going to work. CentOS 6.x does not work today. There is no 'easy' upgrade path for anything short of serious linux sysadmins to get CentOS 6.x working. Save yourself the time and effort, either 1. wait and see, or 2. upgrade to a 'cutting edge' distro, the latest versions of Fedora, and Ubuntu will work.

It works fine on Ubuntu 11.04, which I don't think is 'cutting edge' anymore since 12.04 is out.... and even that can't be considered 'cutting edge'... given that its a general release. Its possible that Debian/Ubuntu is just more progressive... :)

[Kindling 1]

You don't need 'cutting edge'. Here's the distros I know it works with, so far:

Debian Wheezy ('testing' but is actually very stable)

Ubuntu 11.04 (Based on Debian Sid)

Fedora 16

ArchLinux (rolling release)

Gentoo/Funtoo (source based)

Debian testing is probably the most stable out of those ('testing' doesn't by any means mean unstable, packages have to go through many stages to be considered for addition to 'testing'), but there's nothing unstable about Ubuntu or Fedora.

Any of these installed to a chroot should be fine.

We are also toast if they cant compile it with glibc 2.12... Almost no linux distributions support glibc 3.4 :(

Dont want fedora or ubuntu, they are crap...

Its not that hard to install the 32 bit libs.. Just "yum install libstdc++.i686" and "glibc.i686".. ".686" is 32bit rpms. And they will be in the normal repos

used GCC for compile was "gcc (Debian 4.6.3-8) 4.6.3" so take that in mind ...

it was either this or no alpha , i'm sorry

Ubuntu is based off of Debian 'sid' which is the 'unstable' branch of Debian... I was trying to use a term other than unstable, since which it's referenced to as 'unstable' it is stable enough for production. So yes, Debian-Sid, Fedora, and Ubuntu all have more newer versions of software loaded, where as CentOS and RHEL tend to be more conservative in the selection of software packages.

Thanks for the detailed information, that will help us system admins moving forward to plan on how to get our servers back up and running, and trust me this is a much easier pill to swallow than forcing everybody to convert over to Windows. This also helps future proof the Linux dedicated server, since we know that CentOS 7.x will provide at least 10 years of a supported operating system to run ArmA2OA on...

While it will cause some minor growing pains now, it will be a help in the long run.

Come on guys.. are we seriously talking about GLIBC *2.7*? That's from 2007.. I'd strongly suggest to instead update your system in any case..

gcc 4.6.3

glibc 2.14.1

linux 3.2.11-hardened (PaX/GrSecurity)

Come on guys.. are we seriously talking about GLIBC *2.7*? That's from 2007.. I'd strongly suggest to instead update your system in any case..

gcc 4.6.3

glibc 2.14.1

linux 3.2.11-hardened (PaX/GrSecurity)

I really think you need to target that comment more at the REHL distros and not at the admins that use them.

I am thinking of moving to Debian Wheezy now... but I hate to do it knowing CentOS will update in ~6-8 mos.

I really like CentOS and it has proven itself over and over and over again ... hate to give it up.

It is what it is I guess.

omg what a stupid registration...

Hi at all,

here is my workaround for Debian (squeez 64bit)...

1. get the last available lib32stdc++6 deb package from sid

# wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-4.7/lib32stdc++6_4.7.1-6_amd64.deb

2. extract the data tar ball

# ar -vx lib32stdc++6_4.7.1-6_amd64.deb

# tar -xzvf data.tar.gz

3. copy the lib32 dir to your game-dir

4. use this modified start/stop-script arma2oaserver (fixes the watchdog too) :

#!/bin/bash
#
# armaserver: ArmA 2 Linux Dedicated Server Control Script
#  (c) 2010 BIStudio

I really think you need to target that comment more at the REHL distros and not at the admins that use them.

I am thinking of moving to Debian Wheezy now... but I hate to do it knowing CentOS will update in ~6-8 mos.

I really like CentOS and it has proven itself over and over and over again ... hate to give it up.

It is what it is I guess.

I'd be cautious with Wheezy, while it's EOL hasn't been announced yet (according to what I can find), traditionally they have only provided security updates for 3 years, which would place the EOL sometime in the summer of 2015. To give you an idea, CentOS 5.x is scheduled for support until 2017, and has been out for ~5 years now, Wheezy was just frozen in the last 45 days or so. Ubuntu server maybe a better choice with a 5 year support commitment, and 12.x having just been released.

I am having problems getting squad.xml working on this version. I have successfully tested my squad.xml set up locally and on a Windows dedicated server. I am able to join the Linux dedicated server, but none of the squad.xml data gets loaded up. I have looked at my ftp log and I don't see the server access the files. Looking at the server and client logs, I don't see any errors. Watching the tmp directories the server creates, I don't see any files being created.

Ummm ftp? do you mean http? Also I had a similar problem before and it was related to a routing/firewall issue. Can you tcpdump the linux network interface and see if it's making a call to your squad.xml file?

I'd be cautious with Wheezy, while it's EOL hasn't been announced yet (according to what I can find), traditionally they have only provided security updates for 3 years, which would place the EOL sometime in the summer of 2015.

So given the choice what OS would you load up or would you just wait for CentOS 7? Ubuntu seems like a crap choice IMO, when I hear Ubuntu I think desktop linux. Keeping the thread on topic, what is the "future proof" linux distro we should be loading up? Perhaps Dwarden can answer this? I would hate to change over to another OS that we would then need to change again to run ArmA 3 on.

[sthalik 10]

And to keep this on topic: While alpha works without any mods fine, after loading a handful, clients wait forever to connect, and after disconnecting the log gets:

/home/arma/arma/chroot/var/log.2302.txt:NetServer::finishDestroyPlayer(807887649): DESTROY immediately after CREATE, both cancelled

Guess for a while I'll be running the Win32 version (WINE 1.5.10) in a VNC X11 session. This one doesn't have any problems, other than lower-than-optimal performance.

I have a fully-working chroot that works on any Linux system with a fairly recent (2-3 years? I think the requirement was a 2.6.18 kernel) kernel, able to run x86 binaries. So stop spreading FUD about how hard it is to create one. As for the term, I suggest you consult a dictionary. As for your insults, I lost any incentive to help you with your imagined problems. I'll only correct your "facts" from now on.

[Placebo 28]

Let's keep the personal comments out of this thank you.

And if anyone wants to paste a wall of text/code please use the code and spoiler tags.

[PreedSwe 18]

I got the alpha working on CentOS 6.3 by downloading the gcc 4.7.1 source, compiling and installing, then made a file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ pointing to the 4.7.1 libs(in my case /usr/local/lib/).

In order to compile gcc I had to install libmpc-devel and mpfr-devel packages.

By default gcc 4.7.1 installed to /usr/local, which let me keep the current CentOS gcc(4.4.6) in /usr

Although it runs, this alpha crashed within a few minutes and was very very laggy.

Here is a short guide.

Install prerequisites:(you will need the epel repository to install libmpc, if you dont have it you can install it by running "yum install epel-release")

yum -y install libmpc-devel mpfr-devel

Download GCC:
cd /usr/local/src
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.7.1/gcc-4.7.1.tar.bz2

Unpack:
tar xjf gcc-4.7.1.tar.bz2

Compile:
cd /usr/local/src/gcc-4.7.1
./configure
(if you encounter any errors deal with them accordingly by installing missing packages etc)

./make -j5(if you have a cpu with 4 cores)
./make install

echo /usr/local/lib/ > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libs.conf

omg what a stupid registration...

Thanks for help but i have another problem, the log file says me something like this:

/home/arma2arrowhead/server: error while loading shared libraries: /home/arma2arrowhead/lib32/libstdc++.so.6: file too short

[sthalik 10]

@kaju:

Copy the 'real' one (with a minor .so version, not just major '6') too.

Keeping the thread on topic, what is the "future proof" linux distro we should be loading up? Perhaps Dwarden can answer this? I would hate to change over to another OS that we would then need to change again to run ArmA 3 on.

I've been running Ubuntu 12.x (and before that 11.x) on our servers for 8 months now (and this is the only place I use anything other than CentOS out of 20-30 Linux systems I manage), I know it feels like a 'desktop' OS to me as well, but with a 5 year support plan in place, today that is the OS I'd suggest, while not the 10 year plan of CentOS 5 years is better than the other alternatives out there. Otherwise I'd wait for CentOS and use a chroot, or emulation solution for the time being... a para-vm solution would only be a 3-5% performance hit, and should work fine... chroot is likely less than 1% although that is a guess.

I unpack the folder with that command and i have this in lib32 folder, what's wrong?

Thanks for help but i have another problem, the log file says me something like this:

/home/arma2arrowhead/server: error while loading shared libraries: /home/arma2arrowhead/lib32/libstdc++.so.6: file too short

Do you have shell access to the server ?

ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 arma arma     19 Aug  5 17:21 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.17
-rw-r--r-- 1 arma arma 938520 Aug  1 00:25 libstdc++.so.6.0.17

libstdc++.so.6 is a unix symbolic link to libstdc++.so.6.0.17

So you can try to delete the link (libstdc++.so.6) and rename libstdc++.so.6.0.17 to libstdc++.so.6
