Open task manager (cntrl + alt + delete) or search for it via the start menu. Look for the Steam process, select it, and then click "End process".After that open Steam/Gmod again and you should not get this error.
I had the same problem as you and most of the solutions I found online didn't work for me. But I can still fix it by:1.Open steam2. Run Garry mod (as adminstrator) but not in steam but run the game in its fileI hope it helps you
If you're among the many Garry's Mod users experiencing the startup error "Unable to shade polygon normals," you should probably keep that information to yourself. According to GMod creator Garry Newman, he introduced the error this week and it's designed to only appear on illegal copies of the game as a means of flushing out pirates.
Upon receiving the error, unsuspecting pirates posted on the Steam forum looking for assistance. Those individuals are being banned from the message board. Making the situation even more interesting, the polygon error message is followed by a number in parenthesis that most folks would associate with an error code. See the example below:
The kicker is, that's actually a SteamID, so pirates are unknowingly revealing their Steam identity. Speaking with Bit-Gamer, the developer claimed that 2,500 pirates were identified 15 hours after rolling out the error. Newman doesn't have the power to ban Steam IDs and it's unclear if any accounts have been banned outside of the forum.
A Lua error is caused when the code that is being ran is improper. There are many reasons for why a Lua error might occur, but understanding what a Lua error is and how to read it is an important skill that any developer needs to have.
An error will halt your script's execution when it happens. That means that when an error is thrown, some elements of your script might break entirely. For example, if your gamemode has a syntax error which prevents init.lua from executing, your entire gamemode will break.
If the error happens serverside, the text color will be blue. If it happened clientside, it will be yellow. If it's menu code, it will be green (not a typical scenario). Messages which look like errors but are colored differently, such as red or white, are not Lua errors but rather engine errors.
In Garry's Mod, the error model serves as a placeholder that appears when there's a missing model. It indicates that the required models couldn't be loaded properly, signaling a potential issue with the game's assets.
The error model stands has a easily recognizable appearance. It's a large red text model, set in the Arial font (slightly stretched), spelling out "ERROR". This design ensures high visibility, immediately alerting players to any issues.
The error model acts as a placeholder for missing or incompatible game assets. If the game fails to load a model, it swaps in the error model instead. This prevents the game from crashing and notifies the player of the issue, allowing gameplay to continue.
I am not using IcePick as far as I know (in the debug config it is written as Cortex_M4_0. I can fully debug the device, but when it shows this error code composer freezes for a few seconds which makes it a bit hard to work with.
Sorry, somehow I skipped the part where you were able to connect to the target. One question: when this message is shown, does the debugger still maintain control over the device? Or you need to Terminate or reconnect to the core?
I haven't seen this happen with my CCSv7.4.0/TI Emulators 7.0.100.1 and my XDS110 Debug Probe in Ubuntu 16.04/64 (thus ruling out something intrinsic to this combination), but I would be extremely suspicious of two things:
1) Either flaky connections between the device and the debug probe, which could be responsible for malformed packets of information between the ICEPICK router (a JTAG router inside your device) and the probe. In this case I would thoroughly inspect the connections and their length.
You can also run the low-level utility dbgjtag in repeat mode and move around the cables to see if the connection is broken at a certain point. The command and the results when there are cable breakage are shown at the bottom of this post.
2) The code loaded to the target may be changing the pin assignment of the JTAG pins - that or keeping the device hanging for too long during a peripheral or memory access operation, which can fool the Debug Probe into believing the connection was disrupted. If the code you are debugging on the Mint host is different, that could explain what you are seeing in the Ubuntu host. If the code is the same, then that theory is not applicable.
The scan-path will be reset by toggling the JTAG TRST signal.
The controller is the XDS110 with USB interface.
The link from controller to target is direct (without cable).
The software is configured for XDS110 features.
The controller cannot monitor the value on the EMU[0] pin.
The controller cannot monitor the value on the EMU[1] pin.
The controller cannot control the timing on output pins.
The controller cannot control the timing on input pins.
The scan-path link-delay has been set to exactly '0' (0x0000).
If you've played games made in the Source Engine, like Half-Life 2, Portal, or Left 4 Dead, or if you've played around in Garry's Mod, or especially if you've used player-made Source Engine game mods or maps, you're extremely familiar with the Source Engine error model. It's a big, bright red 3D model of the word ERROR to signify that a model didn't load properly. The image above is the one I just placed in the Garry's Mod construct map.
When the error model shows up in a mod or a map they're pretty hard to miss. But it looks like even Valve itself, on the cusp of releasing a new Half-Life game, can still fall victim to the notorious Source Engine error model. Just yesterday Valve announced the release date for Half-Life: Alyx, and accompanying the announcement on Twitter were a handful of beautiful new screenshots. Here's one of them:
Lovely! But if you enlarge the image and look at the top left-hand corner, you can see a Source Engine error model sticking into frame. A quick glace might suggest it's some sort of sign on the building, but it's not. It's the good old error model. Hello, old friend.

Both matches were widely covered by the media, and Deep Blue became a celebrity.[1][2] After the match, it was reported that IBM had dismantled Deep Blue, but in fact it remained in operation for several years.[3]
Prizes were awarded for both matches by the sponsor, IBM Research, with Deep Blue's share going back to IBM. For the first match, the winner was awarded $400,000 and the loser $100,000; for the second match, the winner was awarded $700,000 and the loser $400,000. Carnegie Mellon University awarded an additional $100,000 to the Deep Blue team, a prize created by computer science professor Edward Fredkin in 1980 for the first computer program to beat a reigning world chess champion.[4][5]
Deep Blue's win was seen as symbolically significant, a sign that artificial intelligence was catching up to human intelligence, and could defeat one of humanity's great intellectual champions.[6] Later analysis tended to play down Kasparov's loss as a result of uncharacteristically bad play on Kasparov's part, and play down the intellectual value of chess as a game that can be defeated by brute force.[7][8]
In a podcast discussion in December 2016, Kasparov reflected on his views of the match. He mentioned that after thorough research and introspection while writing a book, his perspective shifted. He acknowledged his increased respect for the Deep Blue team and a decrease in his opinion of both his own and Deep Blue's performance. He noted the evolution of chess engines, indicating that modern ones easily surpass Deep Blue.[9]
After Deep Blue's victory, the ancient Chinese game of Go, a game of simple rules and far more possible moves than chess, became the canonical example of a game where humans outmatched machines. Go requires more intuition and is far less susceptible to brute force.[10] It is widely played in China, South Korea, and Japan, and was considered one of the four arts of the Chinese scholar in antiquity. In 1997, many players with less than a year of experience could beat the best Go programs.[11] But the programs gradually improved, and in 2015, Google DeepMind's AlphaGo program defeated the European Go champion Fan Hui in a private match. It then surprisingly defeated top-ranked Lee Sedol in the match AlphaGo versus Lee Sedol in 2016.[12] While Deep Blue mainly relied on brute computational force to evaluate millions of positions, AlphaGo also relied on neural networks and reinforcement learning.
February 10. The first game began with the Sicilian Defence, Alapin Variation. The first game of the 1996 match was the first game to be won by a chess-playing computer against a reigning world champion under normal chess tournament conditions, and in particular, classical time controls.
