Fix

I change user but still i have this same error. I add user to group tty.

gmodserver is not part of the tty group.

    tty:x:5:garry

Run the following command with root privileges.

    usermod -G tty gmodserver

The solution is right in the error

usermod -G tty gmodserver

Did you do anything fancy to tmux or had issues upgrading it or something ?
Did you apt update && apt upgrade ?
Can you try to start with ./gmodserver debug ?

For now with what is provided, i can see tmux not being able to start properly and a modified Debian kernel from your provider which can cause issues when it's poorly made (even OVH ones).

I did apt update && apt upgrade. I try ./gmodserver debug server starts. I don't have any error when i updating system.
This may be due to the fact that I use Ngnix ?

What listens to your port 80 is not related to LGSM, so nginx is not the issue here.
The issue comes from your tmux that is not able to work properly for some reason. Since you're using Debian and have a proper tmux version, i got no clue why it would happen. I'd try to use tmux without LGSM to try diagnose it. I'd also try to put an original Debian kernel rather than yours.
I gotta close this since github is for script development rather than solving user issues. However, you can post on the Steam forum or Discord (relating this issue) if you need more help.
