I’ve been getting this error message when booting the server.

^^ The preceding error dump is for ERROR: Message 'signal' not understood.
RECEIVER: Server


Requested notification messages from server 'localhost'
/notify : already registered
localhost - already registered with clientID 0.
localhost - handling login request though already registered - 
This seems to be a login after a loss of network contact - 
- reconnected with the same clientID as before, so probably all is well.

Then I get this when I try to run a synth:

FAILURE IN SERVER /g_new Group 1 not found

It looks like the error is coming from ServerSelectorWidget (the 4th frame in the error backtrace), which is a class in @scztt’s ServerView Quark. Have you tried updating this Quark first? If so, @scztt may be able to help.

Yes, thank you. Looks like the quark was updated however.
