I should have been more specific, apologies, the system is not brand new. It’s running other servers perfectly fine. The issue is with the new-to-my-system instance of Factorio that I’m trying to start. After a fresh install it fails to run on initial startup.
Thank you for prompting me to look in the console. It was failing because it was trying to setup public display but I had disabled verification. I don’t want it public so I turned that off too and now it works just fine. I-D-10-T error on my part. Thanks very much for your support. You guys are top notch!
