Hi,

I'm using Arch Linux as a server setup, and installation of the Release from July, 17th went fine. When I type into the console plugin_print, it returns:

Code: Select all

---------------------
0:      "Source Python, (C) 2012, Source Python Team."
---------------------

Though, the command sp isn't registered somehow...

Code: Select all

sp load
Unknown command "sp"

Any help?

Edit:

[GCC 4.9.1] I git pull'd the Source.Python directory, set RAM to 5GB and CPUs to 4. Now everything seems to be compiling as it should

Could you please post the whole start log?

Posted: **Wed Aug 27, 2014 1:48 pm**

My first thoughts are that you either don't have permissions set properly or did not upload the translation files. Though, as Ayuto stated, if you post the entire start log, the error should be shown in there.

Though, we probably need to add a try/except to loading the main __init__ file to make sure we don't finish loading the plugin if there is an error.

Done!

In case of an error it will now look like this.

Code: Select all

Awesome!!!

We could change DevMsg to instead use IVEngineServer::LogPrint so that if you have logging enabled it will print to your log file. We should consider this for all messages that use DevMsg level 0 that are sent prior to the plugin being completely loaded.

You can also add "-condebug [<file>]" to the command line to write the whole console output to a file.

Same happens to me. SP is loaded, but the sp command is not registered. So I can't load any plugins. help pls.

Posted: **Tue Sep 02, 2014 7:49 pm**

@BackRaw
You either need more RAM to compile or need an older version of GCC. I have noticed that GCC 4.9 consumes a lot memory. Previously, I was using GCC 4.5 and was able to compile the code with 4 CPUs and 2GB RAM. Now, I compile with 3 CPUs and 4GB RAM.

@stonedegg
Have you tried to compile the latest revision on our repository? I guess you also suffer from the GLIBC issue. The latest revision should make this error visible.

Posted: **Tue Sep 02, 2014 9:44 pm**

Yes, I'm getting this GLIBC error. I have downloaded the latest version, is it not the latest revision? I don't know how to compile it.

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2014 6:46 am**

I updated the wiki to include a Building on Windows tutorial, but haven't gotten around to creating the Building on Linux one. If any other authorized members wishes to do so, please do.

The latest uploaded version, according to the Releases page, is currently 29 commits behind the current repo version. The fix implemented by Ayuto to fail loading the plugin if the import of the main __init__ fails is not in the current release.

I would like to get these glibc errors completely figured out and fixed prior to posting a new release version. However, it might be some time till we are able to get that fixed. I really have to agree with this particular quote from the thread about the glibc error:

@Satoon
thank you - take your time. you'll get that fixed

@Ayuto
I was trying to compile it on a virtual machine, I'll see how much RAM the machine has, it's probably lower than 2GB lol. I'll try with 5GB and 4 CPUs as soon as I'm home, that should be enough.
PS: Oh my God, I should've read the error better... it says what it needs lol.

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2014 11:02 am**

Okay, but I'm wondering, why don't you upload the latest compiled version to the download section, instead of having one there that doesn't work at all?

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:10 pm**

I don't have a game server lol. I use a virtual machine on top of my host machine @ home....

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2014 1:10 pm**

It works fine on my machines - not our fault if your server providers are renting you fossilized game servers.

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2014 2:10 pm**

Yeah, the current version works on most machines. If we compile the newest version, it would still not work on your server.

What kind of GLIBC error? I had problem with time.cpython-3.4 module so I had to recompile python. If you have the same one, I can give you the working one

About compilation: get some Linux distributive and install it in VirtualBox (its free) or any similar program. After installation just read this post, its more simpler then you can think

For me it was ok with 4Gb (don't know about 3GB) on Ubuntu 12.04 in VirtualBox

Big amount of CPU isn't very critical, it just increase a compilation speed.

I was trying to run Source.Python on my server for almost 1 week and when I solve one problem another one immediately appears, so there are no guaranties that the new version will work on your hosting...

Yes, its better to have your own server in data center where you will have all your game servers, but I guess more than 3/4 servers of all games that Source.Python supports are hosted at some hosting provider. So I guess that a lot of people will thank you if such problems will be solved

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2014 3:13 pm**

So, the sp command does not work because of this GLIBC Error?

This is the error I get:

Code: Select all

The error causes Source.Python to not complete its loading process. If you look at the originating line that causes the error, you will see that almost none of the initialization process has been completed. The following might be slightly different in the current release, but the idea is the same:

Syntax: Select all

# =============================================================================
# >> IMPORTS
# =============================================================================
# Site-Package Imports
#   Configobj
from configobj import ConfigObjError

# Source.Python Imports
#   Cvars
from cvars import ConVar
#   Hooks - These are imported to implement the exceptions and warnings hooks
from hooks.exceptions import except_hooks
from hooks.warnings import warning_hooks

The next to last line in that block is where the error originates. The "sp" command is not registered until much later in the process:

Syntax: Select all

# =============================================================================
# >> INITIALIZE SP COMMAND
# =============================================================================
from core.command import _core_command

If we were to upload a new release, the only difference it would make is that the plugin would fail to load if an error happens on initialization. So, plugin_print would not show Source.Python as being loaded on the server.

If you notice, the error you have now posted is the exact same as the one in Hedgehog's thread:
http://www.sourcepython.com/showthread.php?581-Server-crash-on-SP-loading&p=2960&viewfull=1#post2960

Again, we do intend to figure this issue out and get it fixed, but it will take some time.
