Got off on time today. Came home and made myself a nice mozzarella and basil quesadilla with all the fixin’s. Still no word on the srcds error… I’ll give it a day, then I’ll look into buying a new server.
Evening Open Thread
We will be sticking with Fedora 15. We found a desktop setup that works for us. Fucking stupid that the default ones are all 3D based…
Regarding the forums, Papa Smurf is still plugging away at PHP. It turns out it was trying to talk to a non existing file path…
Anyway, bedtime for bonzo. Will be on tomorrow afternoon.
Update
Forum is back up. Now leave me alone.
I’m not the only one.
Another thread over at steam was posted today regarding the same ./srcds_run: line 357 error:

Upon comparison, the information displayed there makes it look as though that SSE2 has been dropped so far. I urge anyone having this issue to go over to the steam forums and post about it with what hardware you’re running. The more people post the better chance Valve will fix it.
I’ve been pondering.
Papa Smurf and I have come to the conclusion that Fedora 15 sucks major bollox. So the forum will be down for awhile longer until we go back to Fedora 14 and reinstall the proper packages so that the forum will actually function.
Meanwhile regarding the srcds error for L4D2, I’ve asked around and haven’t gotten any help or suggestions (other than from a friend on steam). But it didn’t really help my case unfortunately. I hate doing this but it looks like I may have to upgrade to a newer server. I already have one in mind, hopefully moving to one that supports SSE3 instruction sets would fix the problem. I still don’t want to do this though because as it is the server is more than capable (in fact I’d go as far to say that it’s overkill). It’s an HP Rackmount server. Seems ridiculous to stop supporting it. It’s also ridiculous that there aren’t more people who are in the same boat as me.

How can this not be supported?
As an aside and a brighter note, PS and I sat down for a L4D1 match tonight. There will be a review in the future. I also have a L4D2 one planned. But I won’t go about saying how either of these reviews will be planned.
Fuck…
Even after updating to Fedora 15 I STILL get the same fucking error when trying to launch L4D2.
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.
./srcds_run: line 357: 2375 Illegal instruction (core dumped) $HL_CMD
Add “-debug” to the ./srcds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem

Research of this error pointed me to this older steam thread:

If they dropped support for my server I’m gonna fucking rage.
What’s going on.
Back from work. I have been informed that our DVD burners are being total dicks and for whatever reason the server is not reading the discs properly.
Update
Fedora update is currently in session.
Update2
Server installed Fedora successfully. Forums is not coming up for some reason though. Looking into it.
Server is down for the time being.
The forum/game servers are currently inaccessible. Should be back sometime later. Will keep you posted.
If you have problems getting to the forums:
They are going to be up and down for awhile.. We’re preparing to upgrade Fedora (again).
Another week of morning hell.
Looked into the future today. I’ll be getting up at the crack of dawn still so it’ll be real hard to find me unless you see me on my days off. I won’t go into detail but yes, the epic circle jerkery that is corporate life is still taking place. The person who I have taken over for is getting trained to take yet another persons place, leaving me with their job still.
At least I’m getting more hours. That’s the only thing that’s really keeping me half sane.
Sunday Night Open Thread
Today I spent most of my time tidying things up a bit. Then I looked into a few maps for a game that is not Left 4 Dead (since I wouldn’t mind reviewing something dor a different game). Then we had steak for dinner. Had mine Florentine style with a lemon wedge. nothing like a steak grilled over hickory/mesquite and seasoned with some lemon juice from a fresh wedge.
Now to prepare my lunch box for tomorrow. I know ahead of time that it’ll be a full day.
