Ubuntu server endlessly spams output log, doesn't allow connections

[FiftyTifty]

I've an Ubuntu 19.04 server, and tried my hands at installing the server files through SteamCMD. I got all that down, and the problem is at the very last step; getting the server to run properly. I followed this server setup guide: https://unixblogger.com/setup-7-days-to-die-server/

This is the command I use to run the server:

./7DaysToDieServer.x86_64 -logfile output.log -configfile=$HOME/steamcmd/7dtd/serverconfig.xml -dedicated

Here's the log: https://pastebin.com/waNqqNhV

At the end of it, you can see two errors spam the log. And do so indefinitely, with the log growing by about 50KB per second.

(Filename:  Line: -1)

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
 at GUIWindowManager.Update () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

(Filename:  Line: -1)

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
 at MainMenuMono.Update () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Any idea why that is?

I think you're missing some params to start a dedi server:

-quit -batchmode -nographics

Sorry for the late reply, my account was deleted or some such. Re-registered, and now I can actually post in threads.

I didn't add those arguments, yet the server started working all of a sudden. I don't even know what I did that fixed it. I merely re-entered the commands in the guide, namely:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1

And after a while it stopped throwing the error. Bizarre.

Had to do a fresh install of Ubuntu, as I mucked it up bad somehow, with the file permissions preventing me from doing anything. Now the error is back, and no matter what I do, I can't get past this error spam again.

Edit: Aha! You need to open a terminal, and type this command:

export TERM=xterm

After that, the server now launches correctly.
