Howdy, I just took a look at your debug. It seems to be just stops in the middle of the startup proces. So its invomplete fo some reason. There are 2 possible reasons for this: 1. fenrir crashes on startup and stops logging. I find this very unliky as the debugging just stops in the middle of an single huge file write operation. The operating system should at least completely write the buffer to the file. Or 2. most likely, i see the file contains linebreaks what arent part of fenrirs output operations. Also its not fenrirs default file name scheme. So i guess, while try to send the file using mail, the file was opened with an texteditor and you copied it only partial or delete some lines by accident. So some kind of unwanted manipulation. Can you resend me an complete debug file? When you start fenrir from UI terminal, is there any additional output? Anything what looks like a crash? When you press ctrl + c to stop fenrir, is there an „stop“ sound?
