There's always a chance that newer distributions break things and dependencies, we've gone through it many times. I would use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS in the meantime
I have some time off soon and I will be revisiting some of the installer stuff and running through a series of tests again.
As far as the loginserver, linux does not build the loginserver by default
You can install it however by invoking the following
Code:
perl eqemu_server.pl linux_login_server_setup
