Failed to init SDL priority manager: SDL not found and Failed to set thread priority: per-thread setup failed #7036

dedsecorg · 2020-04-16T11:56:13Z

Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Steamcmd 16.04.2020
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Debian 10
Opted into Steam client beta?: No
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

As well as many others, and after some googlesearches, we get told that we should just ignore this messages, but it still is an error message, and i did not find it here..

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Install Steamcmd on a fresh install
Start Steamcmd
Wait for the errors:

Loading Steam API...Failed to init SDL priority manager: SDL not found
Failed to set thread priority: per-thread setup failed
Failed to set thread priority: per-thread setup failed

You will also get this installing for example app_update 258550, but then you only will get this:
Failed to set thread priority: per-thread setup failed
I do get it 7 times in a row.

This should might not happen?

This is an error caused by the absence of the 32-bit SDL library.

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386
solves the problem.

Hi,
Same problem. It worked for me and thank you.

biodunolans · 2020-07-26T17:07:40Z

Thanks a lot! Solved for me too

* Add SDL libraries for steam install, preventing new SDL errors ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#7036 * Ensure steam user environment is setup correctly, updated instructions. * Enforce set variables for startup scripts. * Remove trace logging for startup scripts. * Update examples.

Why would this happened in a x64 machine?

as mentioned in ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#7036

This is an error caused by the absence of the 32-bit SDL library.

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386
solves the problem.

Kept getting the intruding message "Failed to init SDL priority manager: SDL not found" while I was typing commands AND while dedicated server files were downloading. So far this is working. Thank you human! (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

Created a GitHub account just to thank you!
(almost called it Reddit..)

This fixes an issue with steamcmd complaining about not being able to set the thread priority. The solution was found in ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#7036

Why would this happened in a x64 machine?

compatibility, not everything in the steam library is 64 bit.
team fortress classic comes to mind, halflife deathmatch as well.

"You've inherited 32-bit binaries, I was born into 16-bit DOS, was molded by 32-bit, I didn't see 64-bits until i was a man" - Nerd Bane

Though, the exclusion of i386 binaries does reinforce your position of why. I just stood up a server and ran into the same ting... maybe adding the package as a dependency in the repository would be nice since it seems canonical have the mindset to save 12 megabytes of space and not include both 64 and 32 bit binaries.

wiardvanrij · 2021-02-15T17:14:20Z

I fixed this on ubuntu16 with adding the package: libsdl2-2.0-0

giggles778 · 2021-02-15T17:25:51Z

Awesome, thank you for enlightening my derp self :)

On Fedora 33 this can be solved by
dnf install SDL2.i686 SDL2.x86_64
If this is not enough then add -devel packages and/or _net and _net-devel for SDL2.

netstx · 2021-02-25T13:20:29Z

Sorry to reopen this, but I get the following error when trying to install the package:

# apt install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libsdl2-2.0-0' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libsdl2-2.0-0'

Am I missing the i386 source?

kisak-valve · 2021-02-25T14:52:22Z

Hello @netstx, check if Debian's multi-arch support is enabled with dpkg --print-architecture && dpkg --print-foreign-architectures. On my Ubuntu test box, this command gives me:

amd64
i386

If multi-arch is disabled, then it would only have amd64 and you'd want to enable it with something like

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Then check if the package is available with apt policy libsdl2-2.0-0:i386.

Kickimanjaro · 2021-03-20T06:11:47Z

If yall are running on Fedora and encounter this, try installing SDL2.i686.

My environment:

Fedora 33
SDL2.x86_64 was already installed and I encountered this issue
SDL2.i686 was not installed, installing it appears to have fixed
Specific version I downloaded in case it matters: SDL2-2.0.14-1.fc33.i68

ImBenny95 · 2021-05-05T18:34:42Z

This is an error caused by the absence of the 32-bit SDL library.

sudo apt install libsdl2-2.0-0:i386
solves the problem.

You are GOD! Thank you!

richardmuthwill · 2021-06-30T10:32:12Z

For Ubuntu / Ubuntu server users:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0

I'm running a headless virtual server. Why is SDL required?

Are you sure that installing all of this stuff on a headless server won't break something???

That's more than I would expect, but if you're not getting any package conflicts, then it should be fine.
