Anyone ever installed a source dedicated server on gui-less linux? I've followed steps from theseguides but wine won't run properly. Running wine winecfg doesn't work well either. I would normally get
AllowConsole Can't allocate console
when running from batch script. Running wine winecfg last returned
0024:fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" (6.0.0.0)
.
The second guide is for the specific dedicated server. EYE: Divine Cybermancy. It is a Source2007 game made in 2011.
If you are running Linux, you may want to consider installing the Linux version of the software instead, if they have one. You will likely see better performance that way.
We have a few guides here that may help, including some Linux installs for Source based games: viewforum.php?f=67
The only other person hosting has had it running on linux for a while, I figured I might get a performance boost with no_gui linux (also cost effective). There is only a windows version of the dedicated server.
It looks like that tutorial wants you installing an emulated xorg server of some kind, or something that just sort of encapsulates it.
Honestly it may be easier to just install xorg since that's already some fairly complex work to get it running to begin with. Our hosting allows for the installation of a desktop environment. You could install xubuntu-desktop and get one of the more minimal desktops.
I don't own that game to be able to test that tutorial fully unfortunately.
