ElasticSearch 2.4.6 does not start at all without any error message Ubuntu 16.04

[tamimcsedu19]

Elasticsearch version (bin/elasticsearch --version): 2.4.6

• Java Version: java version "1.8.0_121"
• OS: Ubuntu 16.04
  Trying to start elasticsearch 2.4.6 with ./elasticsearch in the bin direcytory. It just closes and nothing happens. See the below screenshot

Stepping through the starter scripts, I can see that it comes until exec "$JAVA" $JAVA_OPTS $ES_JAVA_OPTS -Des.path.home="$ES_HOME" -cp "$ES_CLASSPATH" org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch start "$@" line and then closes.

However, please note that elasticsearch 5.* does not have this problem and starts normally without

Can anyone tell me what could possibly be causing this? Or at least where can I find any error log. No error is logged in logs file of elasticsearch.

From your 5.6.6 output I can see the you're on kernel 4.13.0-31. This kernel has a bad bug, see #28349. You can check this by looking at your kernel logs (e.g., dmesg) after you try to start 2.4.6.
