Tier0 problems on Ubuntu 64 bit

[Adrianilloo]

S.O.: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64 bit). It's a Virtual Machine.

My SRCDS install has a problem with functions from libtier0.so not working properly. A custom server_srv.so built on the SSDK2013 is involved in this report, but it will be proven how the issues happen on default binary too.

I'm going to expose it with two example functions called:
Firstly, the function ParmCount() from the CommandLine_Tier0 interface, which should return the number of command line parameters passed on startup, always returns 0. In contrast, it returns fine on my Windows SRCDS install.
Secondly, DevMsg() functions which should spell to console when developer mode is enabled are neither working (and it's fine on Windows aswell).

So, I'm next showing an output. I turn library errors into bold style:

As you can see I did a logging (near end of output) showing that ParmCount() function returning 0.

Next, to expose that DevMsg() function failing: one can for instance type impulse 52 with sv_cheats 1, which makes a trace test and shows coordinate results via DevMsg(). At the point I trigger that, output only shows on Windows server aswell.

I will be happy to provide more details as they are requested.

Progress.
I checked the sample tests on a fresh Ubuntu 32-bit VM. The problem is gone there.
The following output clears the initial library errors on my other Ubuntu 64-bit VM.

After impulse 52 command is inputted from the game client console playing on the server, following code contains the expected and correct output that failed on the other VM (caused by DevMsg() not working, as I stated):

Next, I will attempt when I have time to fix the candidate libraries that my SRCDS console reports on the 64-bit VM. If I solve the problem I will post the solution and close the issue.

[Adrianilloo]

Hi back.
I have partially fixed the problem. After debugging and researching, it turns out that two factors caused my issues.
So, right upon running the server this time out of the Steam Runtime run.sh script, the following warning appeared (SRCDS kept loading still):

WARNING: Failed to load 32-bit libtinfo.so.5 or libncurses.so.5.
  Please install (lib32tinfo5 / ncurses-libs.i686 / equivalent) to enable readline.

Which I fixed by running:

sudo apt install lib32tinfo5

After, everything works fine when running SRCDS with official HL2DM server_srv.so. But problems persist with the SSDK2013 server_srv.so (even with default one from Valve). Also, correct execution does not depend on server being launched within Steam Runtime libs (through that run.sh) or normally. It seems the core of the problem resides in that readline library or whatever it is.

EDIT: I interpreted some results wrong, making me explain more things out of the panorama. Removed them.

[Adrianilloo]

Alright, so just realized my problem is happening because not all SSDK2013 codebase shared libraries are in sync with the dedicated server ones (not even mattering if using the self SRCDS or the SSDK2013DS server AppID - these last two have basically the same dynamic libraries).

Closing.
