No such file or directory, but Files are there?

Asked by Krillins World

Distribution: Ubuntu 9.10 (64Bit), Ubuntu 10.04(64 Bit)

Upgraded Ubuntu 32bit to 64bit. It ran fine for a while, except 10.04. Updates stopped updating upon changing the Settings of the update manager from Daily to Weekly. Would see a list, but updates would NOT install.

Decided to do a fresh install of the operating system and apply the waiting updates.

A few hours have past, the system installed perfectly along with all the updates.

I have 4 partitions on my single 160GB SATA HDD. Boot-Swap-/(root)-/apps.

Downloading a file into the HOME folder. Place this downloaded file into a directory in the home folder (hlds_l), move the hldsupdatetool.bin into this folder. The file is marked as executable as needed. Open a terminal window and try to execute and the terminal reports:
bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory

Even existing files in the /apps partition report the same problem. This /apps folder is where dedicated game servers are run from. Permissions were checked up and down. No luck. Files are listed as being there, but with it comes time to run them, it is a different story.

What gives here? I do not know why this system worked before with no problems. A few issues, yes. But 'No Such file or directory' is not possible to work with such a problem.

What is the solution to this problem? What did I miss here? Nothing was displayed about any changes which would effect this.

Thanks in advance!!

I made a change to the FSTAB file, I made one change that I noticed from the 32BIT build. The <options> listed the drives as 'defaults' but the print out from the 32bit listed the <options> as relatime. I changed them but this did NOT correct anything.

No Change Even in 10.04 LTS Distro. Dropping due to lack of acknowledgement of this problem!

Did you cd into the hdls_l folder before trying to execute the file?

Are the files listed if you use the ls command? Do they appear in Nautilus or other file browsers?

Please copy and paste your terminal session.

First off all. Please do NOT treat me like I got a computer for my birthday a week ago. I am an IT Professional since 91'. The fact you even have to ask this question really insults my professionalism. Not to mention the fact you are asking me question that can be answered in ORIGINAL posting. But I will reproduce the SAME problem once again.

gameuser@babby:~$ cd hlds_l

Any other questions? And you see 'ls' twice, the first listing the file was not made executable and the 2nd list it was 'green' indicating it was made executable.

Any and ALL files which this system says it CANNOT file are THERE in both a terminal window, as well as listed in Nautilus.

Here is the /apps folder. This next listed is where our HL1 server is listed...

Here is the Steam Folder list in the /apps directory:

Back one directory to attempt to launch the file 'shcs.sh' here is what I get there as well:

gameuser@babby:/apps/steam$ ./shcs.sh
Starting KW:CS SuperHero
Auto detecting CPU
Using AMD Optimised binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
./hlds_run: 403: ./hlds_amd: not found

Before you ask me what the 'shcs.sh' contains, here is what is in the file:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting KW:CS SuperHero"
cd hldssh_l
./hlds_run -game cstrike +port 27016 +map de_dust +maxplayers 12

And before you even ask. These files ALL worked before attempting to reinstall the 64bit version. The 32bit version work perfectly fine, as did this 64bit before the reinstalling.

Anything else you need?

I see there is a typing error. So just to make sure this error is REAL, here is the correction:

gameuser@babby:~$ cd hlds_l
gameuser@babby:~/hlds_l$ ls -l
total 3436
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gameuser gameuser 3513408 2009-12-09 05:54 hldsupdatetool.bin
gameuser@babby:~/hlds_l$ ./hldsupdatetool.bin
bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
gameuser@babby:~/hlds_l$

Same results, even if it is typed correctly. No Change.

I guess we are hoping this problem just goes away?

I can not keep my game servers down because you guy won't assist.

We reverted the Ubuntu 9.10 64bit back to a 32bit.

I am very dissatisfied with this product and who is to say this will not happen in the near future with the 32bit distro. But I am not waiting to find out. I am hunting out another distro before anymore problems arise and cause further disruptions.

This problem will NEVER get solved at this rate.

Sir,
    Its okay to be frustrated, but please don't get angry with us.
Everyone in Ubuntu has put their heart and soul into it to make it reach
the heights its on now. We all work VERY hard to improve Ubuntu but
sometimes things happen

I think I see what the problem is: you made a separate partition for
apps folder, and then all the files in that folder are exhibiting the
same behavior. This is actually a bug in 64 bit, I think someone
reported this a while ago, for a different release version though.
Report a new bug, and let the devs have a proper look at it. They can
best help you out here. Also see this [1]

As frustrating as the 'Linux' world has been to me over the past 5 years. It just irritates me that with all my experience I am unable to come up with a solution due to lack of tools and it quadruples when you report the issue and you are left holding the bag for DAYS on end.

As soothing as your words maybe. This doesn't solve the problem, nor does it take a proper step in the right direction to getting this issue resolved.

So again, I say: This problem will NEVER get solved at this rate.

This problem is not solved? How can this issue be solved without a real solution to a problem that is being ignored?

I have the same issue with a Debian install stating no such file, when hlds_l does exisit. I've been searching up and down with no luck at all. Been trying to setup a beta 6.1 server with nothing but issues. Have won successfully cracked but I can't seem to launch the dedicated server.
