Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/460

I hosted multiple insurgency server, some very long time ago with the linuxgsm. Since a insurgency update (i dont remember which) i am unable to use linuxgsm to host a insurgency server on linux.

Installation works perfectly (while install it says installed glibc 2.13, needed 2.15 but it installs 2.15. Maybe the fix doesnt work?), but when i try to start it:

kennux@Debian-78-wheezy-64-minimal:~/insserver/public$ ./insserver start
    loading fn_check_logs...OK
    loading fn_insfix...OK
    loading fn_details_config...OK
    loading fn_logs...OK
[ .... ] Starting ins-server: Insurgency Server    loading fn_check_tmux...OK
    loading fn_check_steamcmd...OK
session not found: ins-server
[ FAIL ] Starting ins-server: Unable to start Insurgency Server

Same in the logs. Nowhere a more detailed error message.
System information:

root@Debian-78-wheezy-64-minimal ~ # tmux -V
tmux 1.6
root@Debian-78-wheezy-64-minimal ~ # uname -a
Linux Debian-78-wheezy-64-minimal 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The strange thing is, when i run lgsm in debug mode everything works fine:

I currently run the servers (with a static runscript created from the command generated by ./insserver debug) and some other tools on tmux fine with my non-root user.
Tried adding my user to the tty group. Didnt help.

I'm afraid the issue is not obvious to me. There is something odd happening but I cannot tell what. Normally if debug works but start fails there is an issue with tmux. :-/
