Hey everyone, Before yesterday (Wednesday) user-hosted servers did go down for kenpachi & nekomata, so today I decided to host my own servers, I searched for some tutorials and didn't find any here.. I found an topic with most people saying that Ubuntu is good for CS2D Hosting & most other games, So I quick searched in ubuntu.com and I found the latest version, there were the terms version wich ofc i don't know what is it and there's 15.10 that I'm downloading it's iso, so I went also to the virtualbox website and get it so I could just host in it (if possible) and came here and I wanted to ask if its possible to host a server in Ubuntu 15.10 using VirtualBox, I didn't actually wanted to install ANY other os instead of the one I have atm because last time I got fedora and whenever I start it it gets stuck on 80% loading on booting..


The only help I need is how to set up a CS2D server in Ubuntu, a full tutorial would be necessary.. I don't want people to show me the commands, I just want help telling me what to do, and please explain carefully.

I got the iso and Virtual Box I don't know what to do now?


Thank you,
Max, cookies for everyone


READ Important: When I run it it shows a black screen saying: No bootable medium found! system halted!

You can set up virtualbox so it boots from your iso. Then install ubuntu, start it. In ubuntu, create a new user. Switch to that user, download the cs2d server using wget. Extract it (either using unzip or tar, depending on the file name). cd into the new cs2d folder, make the dedicated executable runnable (chmod +x file). Edit the server config using nano or similar.
Now you should install a terminal multiplexer like screen or tmux. Figure out how to use those. In a multiplexed terminal, run the cs2d dedicated executable. You're done.

First, why ubuntu and virtualbox ? Is it because you want to study the process ? (if so, well thought). Because if it isn't, I see no point on doing that if you could just host it in your OS.

Second,

, following this "philosophy" you'll never get anywhere in Linux.

Anyway, Ubuntu is based on Debian so, most of the debian tutorials also work on it (http://www.unrealsoftware.de/forum_posts.php?post=341313.)

First, let's make clear of the following points:
1. You are not experienced in Linux operating systems.
2. Setting a correct environment for hosting on Linux is not easy.
3. Linux requires using terminal to operate the system, while it is handled by graphic user interface in Windows.
4. Using Virtual Box is not a good choice.

Windows is good enough to host a CS2D server, and it will make hosting CS2D server much easier.

If you still want to host it on a Linux distribution, directly install it on your system instead of using Virtual Box.

I fixed all the problems expect lag.. I'll try to fix lag.

@user Talented Doge: I don't see a reason on hating me everytime I create a thread.

First, just read the whole thread before commenting, I said I can't install it directly, because it would cause the same problem as Fedora 20 causes.

@user MikuAuahDark: In a virtual machine, I could at least learn how to use Linux terminal and many stuff in it..

]@user ohaz: Can you please provide me the whole wget command? Thank you.


In my computer, I have 1GB. How much would be good for a virtualmachine, don't forget that i'm using Ubuntu 15.10 in it.

Here we go (this sentence is clickable). With this command you have to download both the zip cs2d file and the linux binary file as well. For the rest you can follow the further steps from thread cs2d CS2D Server Setup (Debian).

But firstly, seeing that you are a newbie on Linux and you want to discover how the things work there, I'll show you some little tutorials below which they are quite helpful:
How to use the Terminal in Linux
Linux commands
Linux Survival
The last tutorial it's really helpful and it helped me too with the basics when I started using Linux for the first time. That's it, this is enough for you to know Linux and set up a server in that OS.

As for your RAM, well, user ohaz nailed it. I highly doubt if you can run very well a virtual machine with such RAM you have.

@user Inflexion: Dude, sorry but are you stupid ? Read my post. Now read it again. One more time just to make sure. I asked you something in order to make your life easier with all this but your choice. WHY ARE YOU USING A VIRTUALBOX OR INSTALLING FEDORA WHEN YOU CAN HOST IT DIRECTLY WITH YOUR OS !?

@user _Yank: THE ONLY reason I want to host it in a virtual machine because I have Windows 7 and I want to make it 24/7 and it would be very impossible to actually host a 24/7 server in Windows.

@user Inflexion: ._____________. Why? You know that there are VPSses which run on windows don't you ? they're usually more expensive too.
If you use virtualbox whenever you shutdown your computer the virtual machine will shutdown too smartass.

There's an option, when trying to close the virtual machine there's an option of shutting it down or saving it on it current state and the other one I don't really know what it does.

So you want to run it in a virtual machine because you want to run it 24/7? And you want to shut down your windows host machine? Please... please think for a few seconds before writing stuff here. Once you shut down the virtualbox host machine, ALL clients will get shut down aswell. They WON'T run.

They are pretty same in terms of functionality such as Linux commands.

Doesn't matter if it is Linux or Windows. It's impossible to let a server open 24/7 unless YOU LET your computer open 24/7 which would be a waste of electric consumption. Therefore, you won't achieve NOTHING at hosting a server 24/7 in a virtual machine, trust me if you don't want to waste your precious time.

It would at least make me learn how to use a Linux distribution..

Ubuntu is low and laggy.
Debian is just restarting the installation progress for some reason.
Fedora takes years to download.

Well, never though installing an iso is very very hard, I'll go for Linux Mint & OpenSuse, If they dont work I'll just abandon.


EDIT: I know this thread is left over, you can tell the mods to close it.. thank you guys for help.
