Hi @preethamsingh and welcome to the community 
As per the requirements you need to run sonarqube as a dedicated user and not as root. See the docs for more information: Prerequisites and overview
Hope that helps
HI,
Actually i am trying from non-root user only.
Well the error message is pretty explicitly disagreeing with that statement 
Can you share the user that you are trying to use as well as the start command you use (or the systemd service if you are using systemd)?
Hi, Please see the id sonar its not in root. ut still error shows as can not run elasticsearch as root
-bash-4.2$ id sonar
uid=1001(sonar) gid=1001(sonar) groups=1001(sonar)

And how do you start sq? Seems like it is not picking up this user
from this ID i start the sonar.sh its shows started and when i checked the status it shows not running.
tried to reproduce this and failed in doing so. can you try the following?
su sonar && whoami && /opt/sonarqube/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start
and share the output including the new log files?
Now i am getting other error

Actually i started fresh installed with sq ver8.9.10 ,postgresql13
Its not clear to me if you now have sq up and running or not?
The error you posted seems to be related to the Java installation if I recall correctly. Did you try it with another one? I guess you are now using conetto right
