**SOLVED**: Updated Zcash Client on Ubuntu, won't run

Technology zcashd client

Hi,
I’ve (perhaps stupidly) updated my client on Ubuntu. I am running Ubuntu 16.04.5 currently. The zcash client has updated to 2.0.0 (I think!). Here is some log info:

To me, this is the ‘suspicious’ line:

2018-08-24 00:24:09 Shutdown requested. Exiting.

Any thoughts or help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
