I am unable to understand why rstudio-server is exiting? Where to find the relevant logs?

Any help will be much appreciated.

[deb-m]

OK- I figured it out.

This particular problem is with the package in fedora 33 updates repository and not with the package downloaded from "https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos7/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.4.1103-x86_64.rpm"

When I installed the package from the rstudio.org everything was fine. Therefore this should be brought to the attention of fedora33 rstudio-server package maintainer at redhat bugzilla. Not an issue for rstudio community.
