So that’s just part of the debug output.  But, it states that the server isn’t responding.  

Do you have either the UFW enabled still (Uncomplicated FireWall)?  It’s on out of the box and I had to disable mine on the Ubuntu servers.  Ensure that it’s not running by doing:

sudo service ufw stop

and then ensure it doesn’t start after reboots by:

sudo chkconfig ufw off

Then kill the FreeRadius process, and restart it again in Debug mode on one instance, then radtest in another.  Also, when posting your debug output, post all of the output from the section where it says “Listening on port xxxx” all the way to the section where it shows the final line.  There’s lots of valuable nuggets of info in there.

Also, if you could, please put the entire service startup information in a text file and attach it so we can view that as well.  There were a few things I had to do on Ubuntu in order to get it working.  The out of the box deb package doesn’t just “work” unfortunately.  So give us all the puzzle pieces and we can point you in the right direction.
