hi,

it _might_ be that I have been just bitten by this (or it is completely  
unrelated ;-)): I have previously installed standalone context on a mac  
w/o problems and am using it just fine.

but today I moved my current document project to a ubuntu machine for  
testing purposes. since there seems to be only an ancient `context'  
provided via apt-get (from 2015) I just installed the standalone on the  
ubuntu machine, too, following the instructions as good I could. context  
and luatex point to the executables in  
/usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin etc.

so it _seems_ to be set up correctly: but the compile run for the document  
(compiling just fine on the mac/older context installation) crashes on the  
ubuntu with a last line:

clearontext     | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution  
interrupted

(w/o trailing linefeed, too...).

if I can provide further info, please let me know.

best,
joerg
