GLIBC_2.14 not found when starting CS:S

[jjoe64]

Hi,

thanks to your package, I was able to install Steam. I downloaded Counter Strike Source and when I start it, nothing comes up and I see in the console the output:

/bin/sh: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: versionGLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/yy/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so)`

I have the current vesion of debian wheezy, 64bit, nvidia.

Can anybody help me?

@jjoe64 Hmm... I think this is happening because the recent update for Steam added support for 64-bit games. Try launching CS:S with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/steam/i386-linux-gnu/:/usr/lib:/usr/lib32 steam-debian steam://rungameid/240

@jjoe64 Don't forget to paste the terminal output!

Hi,

I also encountered this problem. Steam client don't launch any game after lastest update due to the GLIBC_2.14 symbol.

To solve it, I downloaded "libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.4_amd64.deb" and extracted x86_64-linux-gnu folder into /usr/lib/steam/ . Also added /usr/lib/steam/x86_64-linux-gnu into LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /usr/bin/steam-debian

Now I can play games as before.

@RueiYuan-Lu OK, I pushed an update that adds x86_64-linux-gnu please let me know if this fixes your problem @jjoe64

I have the same problem with dota 2 (and any other game i add on steam). Latest update apparently didn't fix it. I'm running CrunchBang Waldrof 64bit. I'm launching the game with the command you posted before (doesn't matter if I do or not btw).

EDIT : Left steam beta and it's working now. Well, at least steam launches the game, now it's a dota2 related crash.

@Orygin Try launching Steam with LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/steam/x86_64-linux-gnu/:/usr/lib:/usr/lib32 steam

[Orygin]

That's working. I suppose I have done something else that worked too before, as launching steam without this has the same problem.

[GhostSquad57]

@Orygin Alright. My idea is to rewrite steam-debian so that it detects the users' architecture and loads the corresponding libs. So, basically, if you're running in 32-bit the script will detect this and load i386-linux-gnu

[GhostSquad57]

@jjoe64 @Orygin @RueiYuan-Lu I made a new version of my script, BUT, before I upload it, I would like some feedback and reports to make sure it works properly. You can get the script from here

[ghost]

I ran the script on 64bits system and It didn't work. We also need "/usr/lib/steam/i386-linux-gnu/" for 64bits system because in fact steam client is still a 32bits program;otherwise the client will quit with GLIBC_2.14 error.

I cannot login to steam because the company I work for blocks ports. Therefore I don't know whether I can launch games properly or not.

I will try them 5 hours later :)

[GhostSquad57]

@RueiYuan-Lu Thanks for the feedback. I'll update my script with a new possible solution.

Hello, I was having the issue with with my game not lauching at first with the previous package with only /usr/lib/steam/i386-linux-gnu/

how ever, after i installed the recent package with both i386-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu, I get this error when i try to launch Team Fortress 2

"(steam:13755): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent. SDL video target is 'x11' SDL video target is 'x11' Failed to create GL context: Could not create GL contextGame removed: AppID 440 "Team Fortress 2", ProcID 13868"

I am using a 64-bit system with wheezy

@DeathDaSquid Try launching steam with: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/steam/i386-linux-gnu/:/usr/lib:/usr/lib32 steam

and then try launching TF2

@GhostSquad57

I just get

"(steam:14938): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent.

(steam:14938): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent."

when i tried @RueiYuan-Lu advice before the update package i was getting the same results

The lastest steam-debian script doesn't work. I inserted 'export' before LD_PRELOAD to make sure linker preload properly, but linker refused to preload and showed the following messages:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/steam/i386-linux-gnu/*' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Now I have a clean install with steam-debian_1.0.0.39-10-2_all.deb, it works for me without changing anything.

@DeathDaSquid Those messages should not effect game running, maybe you can scroll up to see if there are other error messages.

[GhostSquad57]

@RueiYuan-Lu So setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to both i386-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu works for you? I updated my script and hopefully it works now.

[Orygin]

I made a fresh install of Crunchbang Waldrof x64 (based on Wheezy) and installed steam with the deb in master and it worked perfectly. Steam is running and can start games without a problem.

[GhostSquad57]

@DeathDaSquid try reinstalling TF2

[ghost]

@GhostSquad57 I reinstalled but still get the same error "SDL video target is 'x11' SDL video target is 'x11' Failed to create GL context: Could not create GL context"

@RueiYuan-Lu I cant find any other errors besides "SDL video target is 'x11' SDL video target is 'x11' Failed to create GL context: Could not create GL context"

@DeathDaSquid What type of graphics card are you using? If you're using integrated graphics, then that's probably the issue. I've heard a few people say that the latest TF2 update doesn't work on integrated graphics.

EDIT: yep, this is a problem with TF2, not my package. http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/864973123149397753/ http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3148140 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/1050

HD graphics 4000...

[GhostSquad57]

@DeathDaSquid Yep. You're using integrated graphics. I recommend you post your terminal output to: ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games#1050 To help gain awareness of this problem.

@GhostSquad57 i had a feeling it was something with my hardware, thanks for the help though

[GhostSquad57]

Going to close this issue by tomorrow if there's no one else with these problems.

Fixed as of commit 9fd4726937a1119f150fc9b896204dba64df43ca
