Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/902

So I have this problem for over a year now where the steam bootstrapper would cause the lgsm csgo server installer to loop itself. This is what I get on a fresh CentOS 7.1 installation.

ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt"
This seems to be the error causing the infinite loop. I can get around it by
cd ~/steamcmd
rm -r ./linux32/
mv ./package/tmp/* ~/steamcmd/
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +quit
However I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. 😢

CentOS will always surprise me... I still wonder why people are actually using it. :o))

BTW, can you please output a details command ?
./csgoserver details

Seems like an issue with stdbuf, as googleing your error ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/libexec/coreutils/libstdbuf.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. lead me to this kinda similar issue https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2011-07/msg00017.html

@UltimateByte CentOS is great if you know what you're doing. It's just that a lot of people who don't use it anyway. ;)

CentOS is used because it's the classical well-supported enterprise Linux. That use case doesn't line up well with games, especially given Valve's predilection for requiring bleeding-edge Glibc and other stuff that doesn't fly in a lot of the professional Linux world.

./csgoserver details
Too bad that two of the best things don't go well together :(

Well, the issue is that many people use outdated versions of CentOS, which acts like a bitch for game servers, and that's pretty much all i know about this OS, so it doesn't appeal to me. lol

Back to the topic : I think your issue might be related to this recent commit github.com/dgibbs64/linuxgsm@44bbcf6917

Yes I get the

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/coreutils/libstdbuf.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

error as well nowever does not cause me any issues. I have however never come across this looping issue.

[----] Failed to remove temporary unzip folder, continuing anyway

this might be your issue. For some reason it cannot remove the tmp dir. Could be a permissions issue. I recommend deleting the whole steamcmd dir and trying again as lgsm will just re download it again.

👍 on the fail to remove temporary files.
Guess this is solved.
Investigation showed that ld.so error is really harmless.
