Any reason why you are using Ubuntu? There is a debian Wiki page that includes pretty much every aspect of getting a server up and running and tweaked and it works well. You can use whatever flavor of Linux that you like, but I am just curious why you chose Ubuntu over one with better information. Unless you already had Ubuntu loaded prior to deciding to setup an EQEmu Linux server.

I don't know why you would get a seg fault, as I have never experienced that on my build. But, you might want to post the ./start and ./stop scripts that you are using for the server. Maybe those scripts are what is causing your problem.

Well, again, I don't know offhand why you might get a segfault, but you might want to check out the Debian Wiki just incase it has some helpful info that could be some assistance. Since many versions of Linux have quite a few commonalities, most of this stuff probably applies to all of them:

You might try starting the server manually like ./world and a few ./zones to see if those work.

I've run the server on gentoo and centos and it worked well there.
