I have problems setting up persistence, the arma 3 server is running on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-34-generic x86_64)

The server segfaults at the moment it tries to run the @aliveserver plugin, here's the RPT

And here's the ldd output for the aliveplugin.so file after installing libcurl3:386 as was explained on another thread:

I have tried renaming the file to lowercase but then I get "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ALIVE PLUGIN!" errors back and no connection to the WarRoom.

In any case no log is generated by the plugin on the @aliverserver folder.

Hi, I'm back with the tests I ran with the new alive version. Sadly, the server still segfaults whenever I try to use the plugin.

Stuff that has changed in this two weeks: the server is running now Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.2.0-35-generic x86_64) which is a kernel security upgrade. I'm also now running the latest arma3server linux performance binaries from here:

https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/160288-arma-3-stable-server-156-performance-binary-feedback/page-67#entry3005240

I've tried with the normal arma3server binary and it has the same problem, the server crashes when it tries to load the plugin.

I've ran gdb on the core dump and the output is basically the same as this fellow: http://alivemod.com/forum/1704-linux-dedi-segfault

Our server is really barebones, it just has the core ubuntu server installation, openssh and the libraries needed to operate the arma3server, it runs on an i7 CPU and 12GB of RAM.

If you guys need more information or tests to be performed I would be happy to oblige. We really like ALiVE and we would *really* like to have persistence working for our missions.

Ah okay, we'll wait. Meanwhile I can confirm I'm testing with 1.0.3. I've tried with both the version of the plugin included with the 1.0.3 package and the one available in the server setup instructions. And I've tried both a vanilla quickstart mission and a mission with only the core modules loaded, with the same results.

Well, all is OK according to your checklist. I usually have the pbo files with 644 file permissions since I don't think the arma3server requires execute permissions for pbo's but I still went and made the change to 755. And I even went and changed the @aliveserver directory and ALiVEPlugIn.so file permissions to 777 and 666 and still no joy.

The only difference I noticed was on the ldd output where you have this:

        libroken.so.18 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libroken.so.18 (0xf6b28000)
        libwind.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwind.so.0 (0xf6aff000)

And I have this:

        libroken.so.18 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libroken.so.18 (0xf6b50000)
        libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libffi.so.6 (0xf6b49000)
        libwind.so.0 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwind.so.0 (0xf6b1f000)

Thanks man, I just tried with the file you linked and the same thing happened.

I'm guessing it's a weird configuration issue but I'm really stumped at what might be causing it. And I know it might be next to impossible to fix if you can't reproduce it but I still thank you for your support. I'll keep trying to figure it out in the meantime.

Thanks! I'll try the next version for sure. Maybe I'll try to set it up on another distro and see if it's something to do with ubuntu in particular or a PEBKAC.

Thanks man, I tried again with the new plugin and got the exact same problem. I'm going to install debian instead of ubuntu and try again, I hope it's something specific to this installation/distro combo and that the switch to debian solves it. I will report back with my results (congrats on the new release, btw)

Ah yes, it was one of the first things I found out thanks to this thread:

http://alivemod.com/forum/1425-there-is-a-problem-with-the-alive-plugin-solved

Thanks

Hi, I'm back with some information. I have segfaults again with Debian "Jessie". With this I'm almost sure it is hardware related. But I can't pinpoint to something specific so I guess I'll have to hunt it down some more, either by using a non Debian-based distro or experimenting with older distros. I thank you for your help Tupolov and I'll try to come back and update if I ever find out a good explanation to this issue.
