Your system information

• System information from steam: https://gist.github.com/hombrehormiga/a75157bb869443dc80b45f32afbd77bf

• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The game was working fine on Ubuntu 21.04. After updating the system to Ubuntu 21.10, the game just show a black screen for some seconds and then die.

I've tried with some launch options like -autoconfig -fullscreen -nojoy -steam -novid with the same results

Console output running it from the console: https://gist.github.com/hombrehormiga/ca117c0c35d65ffbad1aca2b90c1f0c4

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Just run the game in Ubuntu 21.10

[poopman97]

I know this is not helpful but i have the same problem so i think valve needs to fix something because I'm not the only one with this problem

[Disk1of5]

I think this is a duplicate of https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2811

Thanks!

[AshuAhlawat]

Same problem most probably its just some thing the csgo guys need to update in order to run in the latest ubuntu relese which was recent

[orestisv515]

same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 21.10

[WicRus]

Ubuntu 21.10 same problem Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @ 3.30GHz MSI RX580

Same problem. I am on pop-os 20.10

[DocAnas]

After 20 attempts to start the game, i still have the same problem. I am on Ubuntu 20.10

[chrisribal]

Same here. Ubuntu 21.10. Even after 50 tries, CS:GO didn't launch.

[poof47]

its been like this for almost 2 weeks lol

[Disk1of5]

from looking at all the other trouble tickets i wonder if its an issue introduced in libc-bin package.
lets look at : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2818#issue-1029514296 From the troubles i see it crashes on Thread 1 "csgo_linux64" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. __pthread_kill_implementation (no_tid=0, signo=6, threadid=139800493254528) at pthread_kill.c:44 44 pthread_kill.c: No such file or directory. (gdb) bt #0 __pthread_kill_implementation (no_tid=0, signo=6, threadid=139800493254528) at pthread_kill.c:44

which might have been introduced when ubuntu's packages changes the libc version from (UBUNTU20.04) libc-bin (2.33-0ubuntu5) GNU C Library: Binaries to (UBUNTU20.10) libc-bin (2.34-0ubuntu3) GNU C Library: Binaries

Main Diff's of the function and C file throwing the error: https://fossies.org/diffs/glibc/2.33_vs_2.34/nptl/pthread_kill.c-diff.html

But i dunno.. Maybe im wrong..
Valve? lil'help..
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Disk1of5]

BUT, im also getting: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed so maybe this is a GTK issue that's part of gnome40+ Any one brave enough to install a different DE thats not based off of GTK.. like KDE or i3 or something to see if this isn't a gnome40 issue? (BTW, popOS is still gnome for the new users :heart_decoration: )

I guess since we can't clutch wins we might as well help trouble shoot until Dev's get involved ... maybe they will bless us with some Github AK skins for the trouble shooting for the debug assists :laughing:

I use dwm and still got the error... I reinstalled Ubuntu 21.04 and no longer have an issue. It's likely the new libc.

[Disk1of5]

@jordst thanks for verifying i also just re-booted back in from attempting with openbox and also no luck. yup might be a that dang libc issue

[fhangel]

I have the same issue, it was working fine before the upgrade.

I tried running it from the terminal just to see the log and this is what I get:

Also this one:
ERROR: ld.so: object '~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64).

I'm not sure if those errors are related or helpful here, but it's the only information that I have, and the behaviour it's the same as described by others. Click play, screens goes black as if the games was about to start, and then it crashes.

[poof47]

Everyone has issue with Ubuntu 21.10 ( same as me ) from so far I've checked I think valve is struggling with gnome40.* 😳

[WicRus]

Everyone has issue with Ubuntu 21.10 ( same as me ) from so far I've checked I think valve is struggling with gnome40. Nope. lxqt+sddm have same problem. Probably glibc issue.

[rtuovine]

Same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 21.10. A workaround posted here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2659#issuecomment-851578020 resolved the issue for me.

[orestisv515]

the workaround (#2659 (comment) https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2659#issuecomment-851578020 worked for me as well. just remember to exit steam and then run.

worked, short guide

kill steam sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4 cd ${CS_GO_PATH}/bin/linux64 mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0.orig cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.9 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0

[fhangel]

Ok, libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 seems to be the problem, however, the solution ended up being a bit different for me because I discover my steam is using the system libraries, but don't know why?. Anyway, all I have to do, was to copy the existing ${CS_GO_PATH}/bin/linux64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 from the game folder to my /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ folder.

Before:

$ ldd ./csgo_linux64 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff2a998000)
	libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 => not found
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f3606ab9000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f3606891000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f3606ae7000)

After:

$ ldd ./csgo_linux64 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd5558f000)
	libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 (0x00007fa5d507c000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fa5d5077000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa5d4e4f000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fa5d4e4a000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007fa5d4c31000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa5d4b4d000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fa5d4b31000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa5d52f1000)

The game is now working, but the question is why my steam is not using its own libraries?

[Disk1of5]

@fhangel awesome finding i also tried this and it did NOT work, something made ubuntu's version of libtcmalloc incompatable between 21.04 and 21.10 Even if you perform this to satisfy the the dependencies it does not work:

sudo apt-get install libtcmalloc-minimal4
sudo ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 -s
sudo ldconfig

ldd ./csgo_linux64 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffb9461000)
	libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 (0x00007f85aa2e3000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f85aa2de000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f85aa0b6000)
	libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f85a9e9d000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f85a9db9000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f85a9d9f000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f85aa4e3000)

Still broken.

But you are correct, why is it relying on system dependencies rather than using steam runtime.. time to flatpak steam games?

[fhangel]

@Disk1of5 I wonder if you are missing any other libraries? Going by ldd, your output doesn't include libpthread.so.0, so perhaps that could an issue? I'm just guessing, of course, but it might be worth looking into that one. I also had to attempt running the game a few times, at least 3, before it finally worked, so keep that in mind as well.

[steve-todorov]

tl;dr - check this comment https://github.com/ValveSoftware/csgo-osx-linux/issues/2815#issuecomment-1016657992

@Disk1of5 interestingly your steps actually fixed it for me. I first attempted @WicRus's suggestion and removed ${CS_GO_PATH}/bin/linux64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so., then tried to copy/link the libraries from the system (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4). That DID NOT work, but re-linking the system lib using:

ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 -s

actually solved it for me.

I'm also using Ubuntu 21.10 with latest updates applied.

[Disk1of5]

Still not working for me, double checked all my dependencies are satisfied with LDD.. still have my symlink with my attempt for libtcmalloc_minimal .so.0 nothing is working.. you would think by now a patch would have been pushed utilizing NEW/Correct dependencies. :(

[clvx]

@steve-todorov

kill steam
sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4
cd ${CS_GO_PATH}/bin/linux64
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0-
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4-
sudo ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 -s

This worked for me.

ldd csgo_linux64

@clvx yep, pretty much what I did as well. I didn't kill steam though (but I doubt it really matters). The only thing I haven't mentioned is -- before I tried this I completely uninstalled CS and re-downloaded it. Then I applied the dependency fixes and only then started CS. Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't. I guess that's what you can try @Disk1of5

[VuNgN]

kill steam
sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4
cd ${CS_GO_PATH}/bin/linux64
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0-
mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4-

this worked for me ! Ubuntu 20.10. Thanks @clvx 🙏🙏🙏

[1Wh1teWorld]

kill steam sudo apt install libtcmalloc-minimal4 cd ${CS_GO_PATH}/bin/linux64 mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0- mv libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4- sudo ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 -s

Can confirm, this worked for me too :) Ubuntu 21.10 Big thanks to @clvx

I think the key point for @clvx method to work is that he renames those custom bundled libtcmalloc -libraries so that they are not used. I don't know why Valve wants to use custom versions for those. Ps. isn't the syntax incorrect for "kill steam"? "pkill steam" worked for me, but I thought the good old "kill" needs a "pid". not program name.

[dulobanov]

I also have this issue, Ubuntu 21.10, Thank you, for workaround, it works.

Same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 21.10. A workaround posted here: #2659 (comment) resolved the issue for me.
