Server Help Unable to start server in Ubuntu 16? Errors

    My OS is Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04. I read the requirements and says Ubuntu 12.04 or Later... is it problem on the OS?
    Or something else? I managed to install steam and login without problems, I'm only have trouble initiating the server itself.

    I was following this guide http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/how-to-set-up-a-linux-server-on-ubuntu.34623/

    I do
    screen -S starbound -d -m ./starbound_server

    then
    ./starbound_server

    It starts loading as you can see and then it dies.
    Can anyone help?

    If I'm correct, this error means the storage/universe/universe.lock couldn't be read or created.
    Maybe an instance of the server is already running (check if you have another screen instance with the starbound_server running on it).
    Also check if the /storage/ directory is writable.

    Thank your for helping me Sprvrn. Turns out that yes, I had an instance of it running already. Totally missed it. In adition, I totally assumed the ports were on, hence why I couldn't join and assumed the server wasn't starting. Silly me!
