Segmentation fault on start

[Jan]

I'm running Kubuntu 14.04, with sssd as userdatabase and auth.
/home is on nfs4, but SteamLibrary is on a local disk.

Any ideas?

#SteamLibrary/SteamApps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization V$ ./Civ5XP
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The backtrace:

I'm on Gentoo 64bit, same thing, ATI card... The only thing common is... Wait a sec... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sssd!

Yeah, that's it. The problem is that sssd doesn't provide 32bit libraries, so 32bit pam doesn't know a thing about you and when it's trying to get a home path - it fails. I've encountered that problem a few times before, but forgot about it completely and usually it says something like "getcwd_r: unknown uid 5000".

But anyway, as a workaround (unless Ubuntu has actual 32bit libraries for sssd) you may start nscd (which is usually conflicts with sssd, but it will help here). Being a 64bit application it will be able to communicate with sssd and will serve as a proxy for all 32bit authentication requests.

Wow, thx for this workaround. Will try!

Had the same problem with Borderlands 2, fixed it with installing libnss-sss:i386. Works also for Civ V

Thanks! For me (Fedora 20, 64 bit) Civ5 worked after "yum install sssd-client.i686".

I had the same problem on Funtoo 64 bit, and I solved it by adding the following to /etc/portage/package.use

sys-libs/pam abi_x86_32
sys-devel/flex abi_x86_32
sys-libs/cracklib abi_x86_32
sys-libs/db abi_x86_32
sys-auth/nss-pam-ldapd abi_x86_32
