I am working on the frontend startup, fixing the cases where the
frontend starts before the database and similar issues. There is not
normally a seg fault, just confusing prompts about entering your
language and such. I don't know how to recreate your error. I don't have
an ssd drive. Maybe if you have some more info I can look at it at the
same time.
