$ ./vhserver st

[ .... ] Starting vhserver: marctestno server running on /tmp/tmux-997/default
[ FAIL ] Starting vhserver: Unable to start marctest

User Story

As a LinuxGSM user and Valheim server admin, I want LinuxGSM to be able to successfully start the Valheim server.

Basic info

Distro: [Ubuntu, 20.04 LTS, amd64, focal image build on 2021-03-15]
Game: [Valheim]
Command: [command_start.sh]
LinuxGSM version: [v21.2.2]
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.2) 2.31
tmux 3.0a
AWS EC2, t3.medium, 2 vCPUs, 4 GiB RAM, gp3 SSD

Further Information

I see the back and forth of adding and removing the double quotes on this line, to fix one game but break another. With the double quotes, I wasn't able to start the Valheim server, so I removed them, and it works.

command_start.sh#L75
tmux new-session -d -x ${sessionwidth} -y ${sessionheight} -s ${sessionname} ${preexecutable} ${executable} ${startparameters} 2> "${lgsmlogdir}/.${selfname}-tmux-error.tmp"

This seems related to:

#3239
#3375

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

$ ./vhserver st

Expected behaviour

Game server starts

I tried to use the update command as well and the server is not updating. Since the client auto-updates through steam, I am now getting "incompatible version" and valheim is no longer playable :(. Please let me know how I can update my valheim server. Thank you!

Figured it out. Since I had modified and used serverfiles/start_server.sh to start the server, this instance did not auto-update like i had enabled. The proper way to manage the valheim server is by using ./vhserver start, after using the template from ~/lgsm/config-default/config-lgsm/vhserver/_default.cfg, i was able to create my config in ~/lgsm/config-lgsm/vhserver/vhserver.cfg which will be referenced when using ./vhserver start.

@marcleblanc2 Your fix also gets the server running for me, but it appears to mess up the command parsing so that quoted options passed to valheim_server.x86_64 get mangled, i.e. server name and save file location.

Now I put the quotes back and it works? Guess I need to investigate more...

can confirm your fix works for me as well @marcleblanc2. Strange that this is an issue.

I also had this issue and the fix @marcleblanc2 posted resolved the issue, the real culprit for me was having a single quote ' in my server name. The arguments passed to the server get passed as single quotes, for example ./valheim_server.x86_64 -name 'Someone's Server'.

My solution was just removed the ' in the title.

Does not seem to be an issue (anymore). Probably fixed by #3370
