When starting HL1, I either get a black background for half a second, or a "gordon" background for the same time.

Launching it from the terminal, I get this:

Related to #833 maybe?

Sskanx 2013-01-25 github

Maybe, can't say.

I already use en_US.UTF-8 locale, so the workarounds cited in #833 don't help.
The game won't start, also, #833 doesn't mention a segmentation fault.

Additional information, here are my locales:

Add "-sw" to the games launch options and tell me if that fixes it. (-sw means start windowed).

Aalfred-valve maintainer 2013-01-26 github

Fixed by tonights update I believe, re-open if not.

Sskanx 2013-01-26 github

Hi Alfred, thank you for looking at this bug. I'm sorry to say it doesn't seem to be fixed. HL1 still crashes with a segmentation fault, just a second after starting it.

When starting it with the -sw switch, it still throws a segmentation fault:

How can I provide more debug info? I looked for a log file but could not find one.

I wonder, do I have to suscribe to the SteamPipe beta channel to get yesterdays update?

Sskanx 2013-01-26 github

How can one reopen a closed issue on GitHub?
edit: thanks johndrinkwater!

Sskanx 2013-01-26 github

Updated the issue's title, since I have the same problem with CS:

Exactly the same issue, Fedora 18 with a radeon r620 (galluim3d driver)

?ghost 2013-01-28 github

I have fixed this on my machine. It's Fedoras SELinux blocking hl_linux from using execheap with writable and readable memory. You have to add an exception policy just like SELinux tells you to.

Valve developers needs to stop using insecure API's i guess. Or the Fedora devs need to add an exception to SELinux.

?ghost 2013-01-28 github

Game runs perfectly without any issues at all after fixing SELinux.

Sskanx 2013-01-28 github

I confirm that this bug is due to selinux blocking execheap.
Here is the output from sealert: https://gist.github.com/4658406
Somehow auditd was not running on my system (upgraded from f17), and I did not catch the error...

Aalfred-valve maintainer 2013-01-28 github

eda, your steam client is too old, you need to update it before Half-Life or CS 1.6 will run correctly.

Eeda-- 2013-01-28 github

alfred-valve: sorry than, I'll try, thanks.

EDIT: new steam client solved my problem, thanks for help.

Aalfred-valve maintainer 2013-01-29 github

We have no plans to support SELinux at this time, the work around is to mark the app as allow (as describe above in this bug).
