Bob.Dob 0 Posted January 6, 2010 I'm not personally running arma2server on Ubuntu but I'm sure it will run just fine and I know of a lot of people who run it fine under Ubuntu so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fincuan 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Looks fine to me. I don't remember exactly why those error messages appear, but it shouldn't be dangerous. This is the key: 17:09:15 Host identity created. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Binary 0 Posted January 13, 2010 Stringtable errors usually don't matter.. Just try to connect and check the results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=wfl= sgt bilko 10 Posted January 14, 2010 Running server 1.05 on Ubuntu Server 9.10 64-bit - Confirmed working after installing the ia32-libs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dik23 10 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) I am running it on 8.04.3 and the way I start it is ~/arma2/arma2server start But you have to edit the arma2server, server.cfg and arma2.cfg files first I am having problems with it being announced on GameSpy, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't It always starts with a line: nohup: redirecting stderr to stdout But if that line doesn't return to a prompt it doesn't announce although I can access it over my LAN so it works. Also it seems that I sometimes have to stop and start FireStarter (IPTables config) to get it to announce. Also - even when it's up on GameSpy in multiplayer it shows on http://arma2.swec.se as down, or if I'm lucky waiting Confusing Edit: Should the second half of this be a new post ?

Rexxenexx 0 Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) using 9.10 Netbook Remix on my extra Destop comp. here is the variables ARMA_DIR=. CONFIG=${ARMA_DIR}/socalserver/server.cfg PORT=2302 PIDFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.pid RUNFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/${PORT}.run LOGFILE=${ARMA_DIR}/socalserver/socalserver_linux_log.${PORT}.txt SERVER=${ARMA_DIR}/server MOD=@cba\;@ace\;@acex\;@acex_pla\;@acex_sm and add the bold if you are serving w/ mod checks ${SERVER} >>${LOGFILE} 2>&1 -server -config=${CONFIG} -port=${PORT} -pid=${PIDFILE} -mod=${MOD} I start it with ./arma2server start or sudo ./arma2server start Works almost perfect except for the ping on Internet list shows 2500 but when I join its correct 1-5 ping. Pinging my routers WAN ip gives me 50-60 ping which is what it's supposed to be, but that's not Linux's fault. The same comp has XP -dual boot- and gives the exact same result. The Linux server does seem less laggy and also shows +3 average FPS compared to when it's run on XP. EDIT: When I say +3 FPS I'm looking at it with the #monitor command.

Though I'm getting a strange time out issue randomly throughout games. Singles out players and they lose connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have it set up to run under a new user "game" which has no privileges and start using the command sudo -u game ./arma2server start Am even thinking of chroot jailing game, just in case !

Rexxenexx 0 Posted January 21, 2010 Yea that's a better way. If you're having problems with the server test it out as su and adjust your permissions if it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
