Starmade server Startup crash (Glibc Version)

[freshhn]

Hello,

There seems to be an issue with the latest StarMade version (0.198.223 as of Jun 23rd 2016), whenever we start the server on a CentOS 6.8 server we get the following message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /native/linux/libStarMadeNative64.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /native/linux/libStarMadeNative64.so)

Current Glibc version is:

Package glibc-2.12-1.192.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version

CentOS version:

cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.8 (Final)

Kernel version:

uname -r
2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64

We can't simply install CentOS 7 or upgrade to Glibc 2.14 since this could break other systems libs, is there a compiled version of the latest update that runs under Glibc 2.12 instead of 2.14?

Full log raw:

-Testing on own VM-

MAVYKINS is that a universal Vodoo spell to get it runnin gon every Linux that is missing that library version ?

just so that i do know what to point people at who ask about it!

I haven't tried it myself, but

‘make install’ will do the entire job of upgrading from a previous installation of the GNU C Library version 2.x

so I'd be cautious against running this as root (what "su -" does) in case other software depends on the previous version.

On the other hand, the same man page mentions

If you are installing the GNU C Library as your primary C library

which seems to imply that you can also install it as a secondary library; you'd probably do that as a regular user, and install it below your home directory.

In fact, Multiple glibc libraries on a single host

EDIT:
However, since you don't run one Starmade binary but a Java VM which may expect one specific version of glibc, and then needs to load a library requiring a different specific version of glibc, YMMV.

Hi there,

Thank you for the update, I'll go ahead and create a VPS to test the work around instead of pushing it to production, will update you guys shortly.
[DOUBLEPOST=1466768299,1466765718][/DOUBLEPOST]

1. Start Terminal under current user.
2. Use command:
su –
and type root password
3. cd /home/user/Downloads
4. wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.14.tar.gz
5. tar zxvf glibc-2.14.tar.gz
6. cd glibc-2.14
7. mkdir build
8. cd build
9. ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14
10. make -j4
11. make install
12. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib

So after following these steps, the server just wont start, it stays idle:

[minecraft@starmade StarMade]$ java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xincgc -Xshare:off -jar StarMade.jar -server

It is not passing from here now.

 

[MAVYKINS]

Welp.

 

[freshhn]

So, I have reinstalled Java with the following:

cd /opt/
wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u91-b14/jdk-8u91-linux-x64.tar.gz"
tar xzf jdk-8u91-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd /opt/jdk1.8.0_91/
alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0_91/bin/java 2
alternatives --config java

Tried again to start the server, however I'm still getting the same results.

 

[MAVYKINS]

Fairly certain I have a workaround. It will take a little bit for me to make however.
Also please don't run the original fix on your live server. =]

 

[freshhn]

MAVYKINS, thank you for your assistance, I really appreciate it, if you require the VPS for testing, let me know, I'll send details through PM.
Regards,

Instead of

$ java -X[whatever] -jar StarMade.jar -server

try

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path-to-custom-glibc/lib; java -X[whatever] -jar StarMade.jar -server

because unless you did a global update of your primary glibc for your VPS, its environment is probably still configured to look for the old glibc version by default. If it works, don't forget to add the LD_ export to the launcher script.

 

[nightrune]

A little background. glibc is one of the few libraries that the game can't static link to the native library due to its extensive linked requirements with the kernel. Any platform with a glibc version <2.14 will have this problem. Another user had this issue with the current stable release of debian that had glibc 2.13. I'll be watching to see what the workaround ends up becoming.

 

[SmilingDemon]

Auburn just posted a test file on T1595 Native libraries not loading on Linux distributions without glibc 2.14.

please try to use that solution to see if it works

 

[freshhn]

Hello,

I just tried that and it still hangs, it never starts:

[root@starmade StarMade]# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib; java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xincgc -Xshare:off -jar StarMade.jar -server

 

[SmilingDemon]

you did follow Auburns instructions on the bug report .. or the other things i did call vodoo (because i have no idea about either )
just do not try to combine them

 

[freshhn]

I have tried both by separate,

Here is the output while using the possible hotfix that Auburns posted in the bug tracker:

[root@starmade StarMade]# java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Xincgc -Xshare:off -jar StarMade.jar -server

[SmilingDemon]

thanks. i moved it to the bugreport for Auburn to take a look at

 

[Auburn]

That error is normally caused by a 32bit/64bit JVM mismatch, are you running 64bit OS and java?

Edit: I built the lib using CentOS 6.8 and tested it working, so something is off.

 

[SmilingDemon]

"2.6.32-573.18.1.el6.x86_64" for Kernel
"[LIBLOADER] OS ARCHITECTURE amd64"

i guess he does ?

 

[freshhn]

Hello there,

I've just rebuilt the VPS along with Java 1.8 64 bits and tested the hotfix lib, it is properly starting now, thanks a lot.

Quick question, can this be implemented for auto-download when using the StarMade-Starter.jar file to install the server?
Or will this be made as a manual fix that we should add to our servers?

Regards,

 

[Auburn]

Yes, this will be in the next update.
I just wanted to get the fix out asap.
Thanks for the testing
