lhark:

In the steamcmd script, you must quote the "$@", or else arguments with spaces in their names will get split a second time.

markzz:

Seeing as that script was taken with little modifications from Debian, I will leave it as is.

Nah, this is definitely a bug in the script. $@ must be quoted or arguments are not properly passed on.

You can see this yourself in a tiny example:

#!/bin/sh
cat $@

$ ./foo.sh "1 2"
cat: 1: No such file or directory
cat: 2: No such file or directory

This would be the fix:

Can anyone else confirm that upgrading to kernel 5.1.11 breaks steamcmd? I keep getting time outs when trying to retrieve data. Downgrading kernel fixed it for me.

Nukesor: I will get this updated and I will model this package after the one in Debian's repositories to not interfere with a possible steam desktop install.

Nukesor commented on 2019-03-04 13:59 (UTC)

The download link is obsolete. There is a new one from the official docs:}

curl -sqL "https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz"

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux

Please fix this one :) Otherwise the current version needs root access to update itself and can't be executed by an unprivileged user.

markzz commented on 2018-10-12 16:20 (UTC)

eimis: Your initial run of steamcmd needs to be ran as root to update steamcmd itself. Once this is done, you can run it as a non-root user to install the application you want with it.

eimis commented on 2018-10-12 15:49 (UTC)

Debian managed to package this properly - works fine on non privileged user. Works fine after chowning -R user.users the staemcmd dir.

Freso commented on 2018-02-05 12:04 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be possible to make a "steam" or "steamcmd" Unix group (or maybe even user as Valve suggests: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux ) and give that permissions instead of having to run as root?

Please read the note on the Wiki before using this PKGBUILD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam#SteamCMD
