7 years ago Our packages requirement don't take account of minimal install, since nobody should install that in 2016. However, i see many people doing it anyways, so... Maybe we should add some requirements for them.

6 years ago It looks like rng-tools is used to help generate randomness. SteamCMD might require this. However, I will not be adding this into the requirements as its only an issue for minimal installs.

6 years ago Well, I don't see the problem with adding requirements for minimal installs, it would prevent many issues ^^

6 years ago Oh hello. Just wanna say I had this happen on a Vultr Ubuntu 16.04 VPS as well. No clue if 18.04 hosted there would have this issue.

6 years ago Interesting. The final question we need to confirm is if its just Project Zomboid or are other servers affected

On a clean minimal Ubuntu installation, a Project Zomboid server installed with LGSM will hang on the message "SteamUtils initialised successfully". I'm not sure why but installing the package rng-tools fixes everything. So a simple fix would be to add that to the installation instructions on the website.
