Nethunter (rootless) kex crashes termux

Good day everyone!

I am hoping someone can assist. I am new to nethunter; not kali. I have nethunter installed and updated and working... The only item I am not able to update is postgresql and I believe that's expected?

The only issue I have is with kex... I have set a password and the read only password... every time I start kex; the process starts and dies within seconds.... any thoughts or suggestions? Not sure where the logs are kept for this.

I have tried starting with both root and non root.

The kex client is sometimes able to connect for a second or two before the process dies..

Cheers
