I faced a similiar problem below:
Starting selenium standalone server...
[launcher] Running 1 instances of WebDriver
[launcher] Process exited with error code 1
events.js:141
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^

Unfortunatly problem wasn't be solved. In addition to those error I had an exception:

Same here. I found the solution from this issue. In test/protractor-conf.js replace chromeOnly: true, by directConnect: true,.

I had the same problem with ubuntu 16.04, i found that i have to install java (i did install the openjdk: sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre and then it worked)

[zhoubhin]

@rarspace01 maybe compiling java manually is a more good choice rather han using sudo apt-get install

[danwulff]

Had the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04, per @rarspace01 's recommendation, installing java fixed it for me:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ java -version (to make sure java wasn't already installed)
$ sudo apt-get install default-jre

sudo apt-get install default-jre does not seem to be working
