This is from the Mint 17 install, or from xroar?

I ask because the server has only had one problem running on this older 
buntu machine. When it is quit, usually by my rebooting the machine out 
from under it, it does not remove its lockfile on the usb port it uses to 
talk to the coco, in /var/lock.  So my startup script attempts to nuke 
that lockfile, then waits 3 or 4 seconds before starting the DWGUI.

That USUALLY works but occasionally I have to stop it, clean up the 
leftovers by hand, and nuke that lockfile, and restart the whole thing.

Go reboot the coco, and it Just Works(TM).  xroar I haven't a clue about.
