Well. /help is the last thing I expected to give me the answer, that's for sure. Wasn't even on my radar. Thanks a lot Batta!

So I've finally got my server running, and it has dawned on me that there was no apparent way to adjust skill gain rate for example without using the server GUI (which isn't an option). How can I do this without the use of the GUI tool?

Ah.... finally the Purge Element entered into the process... yeah I forgot to adjust the version number when I grabbed it. Thanks a bunch Sklo

Well, back again. So I modded the server, ran patcher.sh and switched out launch for launcher-patched - thoguht I was clever and it should work - till it didn't. So this is spitting out errors I can't even begin to decipher. Hopefully one of you can point me in the right direction: Create java VM!

launcher. I did this before and the patched launcher worked fine, I don't understand what I could have done wrong. I briefly launched the thing yesterday as a vanilla server, had a buddy connect to ensure it worked, then quickly shut it down. NOw I've attempted to add in the mods and launch it, and this has happened. That about sums it up. Any suggestions? EDIT: I checked and made sure it wasn't an issue with the way i'm launching it. WurmServerLauncher-patched is properly being launched. I also replaced the Adventure folder just in case that was causing strange things (since I launched as a vanilla server first), and i'm still getting the exact same error. So I suspect it truly is something wrong with the Launcher that occurred when I ran ./patcher.sh for some reason.

Alright. I just got my shiny new linux server up and running and it's running Ubuntu Server, and I thought all was golden, just install Wurm Unlimited server files, setup configs and go. 3 days noticeable hair loss and a mess from a meltdown later, my server will not run. I have tried two separate guides, and even this... LinuxGSM thing? Each way of doing it has its own share of seemingly unfixable problems, and I am at my wits end here. The closest I got was that I was getting Steam Authentication Failures, but even when I fixed SteamCMD (FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS!) it still would not Authenticate. I can connect to other servers, I, and friends, cannot connect to mine. That meltdown I mentioned? I did a complete wipe of that install and tried out the LinuxGSM thing, and that was a bust too, it's spitting out Java GUI errors... this thing is headless, I suspect I can't even use that service on this machine. So here I am. Utterly, and hopelessly defeated and asking for help. My only experience with Linux is how to navigate directories, everything else I've literally googled every single step of the way. My Goolefu got me this far, but has failed me in the end. How the bloody hell do you get this thing running on a headless server where GUI does not exist? It seems completely impossible no matter what way I attempt to tackle this. I have a dozen people waiting for me to open this server up (was supposed to launch today), and I just have run out of ideas and options. The quick and easy stuff: OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Yes I turned it off and back on again. Dozens of times in the hopes that it would maybe NOT throw an error and let me on once, so I knew I was on the right track. Never happened. Yes the ports are forwarded. All of the prerequisites except the Java JFX whatever, which apparently doesn't exist, are properly installed, and were properly installed for each of the installation attempts. Yes, everything was up to date. SteamCMD, server files, OS... Everything except my dating profiles. FIRST: here's what I tried: The guide on Wurmpedia (can't even install the java library, so that barely got off the ground). Completely useless - but the list of command line arguments was immensely helpful as a comparison while I was working with the second one. JonsJava's guide on derpycloud. This is the one that got me all the steam issues - the server itself seemed to be running, but I could not see it in server browser, and no connections were accepted no matter what I did. This is where I had my meltdown and wiped this whole installation. LinuxGSM Wurm Server - This was a neat little thing, complete with pretty ASCII art that reminded me of messing around on the internet in the late 90s. Has Java GUI issues I can't seem to acquire a fix for (cuz java 8 is.... impossible now?). This is my current setup, but I can wipe this again if needed. I manually dug up 4 separate steamCMD issues and manually fixed them all (the LinuxGSM just casually fixed them all in about 5 seconds that took me 6 hours to almost fix). But even that didn't help. For some strange reason it was telling me port 7221 was a problem, but it absolutely should have not been involved in any part of this process. I even temporarily forwarded the port in my router in a last ditch effort to get it to work, which failed. I don't know where to go from here. What started as a fun project has quickly become detrimental to my health. I quickly setup a server on my Windows PC in 5 minutes and it was fine - but that defeats the purpose of my server; so I don't have to run the thing on my main rig!

Thanks for taking the time to read this chaotic mess, my stress level should pretty much be indicated by this post. EDIT: immediately following this post a buddy of mine convinced me, begrudgingly to attempt to download java again. And this time it existed. So, perhaps there's hope yet. I'll report back if anything else changes (still not working). EDIT2: Well, turns out a rift opened in time and space and I was shown mercy because that Java install fixed everything. A quick permissions edit and the server finally booted. Now to properly mod the thing and I can get this thing started. Even though it turned out I didn't need any help from here, I hope that what I went through will at least serve to help those who come after me. If sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre doesn't work the first 30 times, KEEP TRYING. Eventually it will work. What might have finally done it for me was logging out of EVERYTHING, and ending my ssh session. With a brand new session it worked for some reason. Using LinuxGSM as instructed plus the above apt-get (and proper user perms) will get you going if you're stuck. Happy Grinding!
