Title: Tremulous server issues
Post by: unknowndeepness on December 21, 2006, 08:52:54 am

Hi there ( :

I've installed the "tremulous-server" package in ubuntu-repos, and when i start the server it pops up to 90% cpu, is this right? :S
( running on an amd athlon xp 2200+, 512 ram, nVidia geforce ti 4600 128 mb )

And when i start tremulous and search for the local server, none is there. :S
"/connect localhost" wont work neither.

Whats wrong?

90 percent on an empty server? Cool

Make sure you've not underclocked it to the equivelent of a 486 :P

What does the console state? Is the server even finished loading?

That's definitely *NOT* right. Empty Tremulous SVN866 server takes so little CPU on my notebook (Intel Core Duo T2300, 1GB RAM) that I have to sort top's output by command name to actually find it among other processes. Post here the console output.

On my ubuntu server the tremded takes a very little load (Didn't get that packet you did),

Code: [Select]

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
1000      8224  0.2 17.7 161776 68252 pts/2    Ss+  Dec18  11:41

And it got P3 800mhz ;)

The 1.1.0 tremded uses a lot of CPU time to do nothing. Tremulous packages will likely include the original binaries, meaning that you probably shouldn't use them.

The Ubuntu tremulous server package (1.1.0-2) eats about 100% cpu (of one core) on an T7200 core2duo system (2ghz 4mb cache).  This is true even if no user is on the server.  I imagine some thread is stuck in an infinite loop.  This sucks, especially on my laptop where I need to conserve battery life and need to remember to
"sudo killall tremulous-server"
before I leave by laptop unplugged for any significant length of time.

Would updating to a newer version of tremulous-server fix this?  If so, should I try to hunt down the Ubuntu package maintainer and tell them to update?  Perhaps he or she is someone who frequents these forums?

I have no idea who made that package, but use the version you can download from here.

tremulous-server package in Ubuntu repos includes the 1.1.0. version, you get same tremulous binary from tremulous.net.
Update your binaries like explained in http://tjw.org/tremulous/SETUP.txt before hosting a thing
